This appendix contains the Department's Joint Officer Management Annual Report for FY 1995. Except for the progress/compliance with Section 619a, Title 10, United States Code, Tables E-2, E-5, reasons in Tables E-9 and E-11, and promotion objectives, the Joint Duty Assignment Management Information System (JDAMIS) was used to produce this report.
Section 931 of the FY 1994 National Defense Authorization Act required each Military Service to develop and implement personnel plans to permit the orderly promotion of officers to brigadier general or rear admiral (lower half). As addressed by the certification report submitted to Congress in June 1995, these plans have been developed and fully implemented by the Department. The Services have continued to revise career development paths to accommodate early joint assignments; assign greater numbers of former O-5/O-6 commanders and Senior Service College graduates to joint duty; educate the officer corps on joint education opportunities; and toughen the quality standards for Joint Specialty Officer designation.
The following brigadier general/rear admiral (lower half) promotion boards were completed during FY 1995 (does not include professionals):
| Category | USA | USAF | USMC | USN |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of officers selected for O-7 | 42 | 40 | 14 | 32 |
| Number (percent) of officers joint qualified | 17(40%) | 28(70%) | 3(21%) | 17(53%) |
| Number of joint equivalency waivers used (percent) | 4(10%) | 0(0%) | 2(14%) | 0(0%) |
The Department is committed to ensuring the completion of a joint duty assignment remains an essential element of an officer's ability to perform duties at the general/flag officer level. Attention will continue to be devoted to guarantee long term compliance with the personnel policy objectives of the Goldwater-Nichols Reorganization Act of 1986.
