Aviation warrant officers of the Active Duty List with five years in grade, and technicians with four years in their current grade, will be in the primary zones of consideration for the annual round of CW3, CW4 and CW5 boards that meet in early May.
The boards are slated to be in session May 10-26, with the results being announced in the summer, and promotions beginning in the fall.
Personnel officials anticipate that a selective continuation board, based on the needs of the Army, will meet after the promotion board to consider certain passed-over officers for continuation on active duty.
All CW2s, CW3s and CW4s who receive a second non-selection from their board, and who are not offered continuation, will be involuntarily separated or retired.
Zones of consideration for the promotion board will be based on an officer's specialty affiliation — either aviation or technical services, as follows:
