Toward a Superior Promotion System

Abstract

This article seeks to assess the current cycle of promotion procedures and propose an evaluation/promotion process for Air Force officers marked by stability, predictability, and transparency--one controlled by the actions of the officers it evaluates. Toward that end, it reviews the history and purpose of the current system, explores some of the latter's inherent challenges, and then proposes a series of recommendations that might enhance the promotions process by ameliorating some of these issues.
