Concept. The CSL27 process will occur in four phases to develop the
OML. The first phase begins on 08 May 2025 when eligible officers will
have the opportunity to OPT-IN to CSL27. Once officers have elected to
compete for CSL, the Army will determine the invitation list for BCAP 27
using each officer’s past performance against the total requirements
for each branch. The second phase consists of participation at BCAP 27
from 19 October thru 11 November 2025. The third phase consists of the
Job Performance Panel (JPP) which considers officers who are certified
for command (CFC) at CAP27 and considers the totality of their file and
CAP scored assessments to determine the OML. The fourth and final phase
is the CSA’s approval of the OML which informs slating.
