While the Department of War remains firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and exemplary conduct, the current adverse information policy has too often resulted in unproven allegations being considered adverse information, cumulative penalties for a single event, procedural redundancies, and unnecessary administrative burdens.
To address these concerns, I am directing a revision of the Department’s adverse information policy within 45 days. The primary objective is to strengthen fairness, safeguard due process, and streamline promotion-related decision making.
