Officer Career Management: Steps Toward Modernization in the 2018 and 2019 National Defense Authorization Acts

Abstract

Section 572 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year (FY) 2018 (Pub. L. 115-91) called for the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the secretaries of the military departments, to provide two reports on policies for regular and reserve officer career management. The reports are intended to provide perspectives on the body of statutory provisions commonly referred to as the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (DOPMA) and the Reserve Officer Personnel Management Act (ROPMA). The first report addressed the sequencing of promotion lists. The second report encompassed 15 additional promotion or career management issues. Sections 501 through 507 of the NDAA for FY 2018 (Pub. L. 115-232) enacted some of the provisions explored in the 2018 reporting requirements and required further reporting on a new promotion-related flexibility.
