This message describes the process to conduct the annual review of the
Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) Brevet Critical Position List (CPL) between the
U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC) Temporary Brevet Promotion
Program Manager and Army Commands (ACOMs), Army Service Component
Commands (ASCCs), and Direct Reporting Units (DRUs) to validate the 526
critical positions on the currently approved Secretary of the Army
(SECARMY) CPL. This process also revalidates existing CPL positions that
have yet to be utilized in the past fiscal year, ensuring positions on
the CPL continue to meet the SECARMY definition of a critical position
or critical shortage. HRC will publish separate guidance on the
temporary brevet promotion procedures for officer nomination.
