6. Scroll Withhold Notification Process:
a. General Officers that have officers in their command that were withheld by the SECARMY will receive an email between the date of preposition and the day before the official board release. The email will identify the officer(s) withheld from the promotion scroll and provide basic withhold reasoning for the General Officer’s situational awareness.
b. General Officers are encouraged to disseminate the list of withheld officers down to their trusted personnel managers so that commands may counsel them prior to the official release date.
c. On the official release date, each officer withheld will receive an official email notification of their scroll withhold status by the HRC Promotions Special Actions Team. The email will include the explanation as reported by the HQDA DCS, G1 for being withheld, informed they are flagged with HQDA F (Delay or Removal from a Selection List), and instructions for the next step in the promotion delay.
