Bill > HR6382

This bill requires the Secretary of each military department to submit a detailed briefing to congressional Armed Services Committees within 180 days of enactment, focusing on promotion opportunities for enlisted service members in specific military occupational specialties (MOS), including air traffic controllers, engineers, intelligence analysts, cyber specialists, linguists, and public affairs professionals. The briefing must comprehensively analyze the previous three promotion cycles, covering aspects such as direct enlistment possibilities, bonus eligibility, mandatory specialty changes for promotion, and detailed promotion statistics. For each specialty and grade level (E-6 through E-9), the briefing must include the number of eligible members, the number actually promoted, average time in grade and service before promotion, selection rates, and the Secretary's analysis of potential advancement challenges. The goal of the bill is to provide transparency and insight into promotion dynamics for these critical military occupational specialties, helping Congress understand potential barriers or opportunities for career progression in these fields.
