The Military Departments have developed comprehensive, multi-layered promotion review procedures that match or exceed the scrutiny provided by special selection review boards (SSRB) and can be accomplished more efficiently with less delay for the officers involved.
Therefore, effective immediately, the second and fourth paragraphs of Secretary of Defense Memorandum, “Special Selection Review Boards,” May 20, 2021 (attached), are rescinded.
This rescission will allow the Military Departments the discretion to use promotion review procedures other than an SSRB when an SSRB is not required by statute.
