1. SUSPENSION OF TEMPORARY PROMOTIONS AND
SELECT/TRAIN/EDUCATE/PROMOTE POLICY, 2 MAY 24. From the Army G-1: This
memorandum suspends the use of temporary promotions and modifies the
requirement to complete a requisite level of professional military
education (PME) to qualify for promotion to Master Sergeant and below.
The Army’s use of temporary promotions to Sergeant through Master
Sergeant in support of the Army’s STEP policy is suspended until further
notice. When necessary, temporary promotions for pregnancy/postpartum
will continue to follow established policy. Effective with the June
2024 promotion month, I am exercising my authority to suspend the
requirement to complete a requisite professional development course (AR
600-8-19, 1-34a), to qualify for promotion. Instead, the Army will use
the NCO Professional Development System (NCOPDS) levels listed in the
memo to qualify Soldiers for promotion. Soldiers previously promoted
with a temporary promotion will not revert to their former grade and are
considered promoted to their current grade without further conditions.
No promotion order adjustments are required. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1320316
