Basic-branch officers of the Regular Army who were promoted to first lieutenant in 2014 and early 2015 will be in the primary zone for selection to captain by a board that meets this spring.
The annual Army Competitive Category captain board is slated for April 19-May 6.
The resulting selection list should be available for promotions by late summer. After February promotions, 2,753 names will remain on the 2015 ACC captain list.
The primary-zone window for the upcoming board will include first lieutenants with active-duty dates of rank of April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015. Previously considered lieutenants with DOR of March 31, 2014, and earlier, will be in the above-zone category.
Competition for captain tracks has increased recently, with select rates running well below the near-100 percent levels of just a few years ago. For example, the 2015 board generated a primary-zone select rate of 89 percent.
Officer evaluation reports submitted for the 2016 board must arrive at the Human Resources Command by April 12. The online “My Board File” record review system will open Feb. 19, and close April 1. MBF can be accessed from the Human Resources Command homepage at HTTPS://WWW.HRC.ARMY.MIL.
