GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. As announced by reference (a), the FY27 U.S.
Marine Corps Reserve Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) promotion selection
boards will convene on 18 February 2026, at 2008 Elliot Road, Marine
Corps Base, Quantico, VA. The board will consider CWOs serving in
an active status for promotion in Other Than Active Reserve (OTAR)
and Active Reserve (AR) competitive categories by military
occupational specialty (MOS). CWOs identified as Reserve
Active-Status List (RASL) in reference (b) are in OTAR competitive
categories. The OTAR selection boards will consider officers
for promotion to the grades of CWO5, CWO4, and CWO3 if vacancies
become available in the OTAR MOS competitive categories in these
grades. CWOs identified as AR in reference (b) are in AR
competitive categories. The AR selection boards will consider
officers for promotion to the grades of CWO5, CWO4, and CWO3 if
vacancies become available in the AR MOS competitive categories in
the AR program in these grades.
The AR MOS competitive categories are:
A. Personnel Officer (MOS 0170)
B. Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Officer (MOS 6004)
C. Aviation Ordnance Officer (MOS 6502)
2. Promotion Board. The board will consider three categories of
officers as specified by the yearly promotion plan: Above-Zone,
In-Zone, and Below-Zone. Officers identified as RASL or AR in
reference (b) are eligible for their respective board if, on the
convening date of the board, the officers have continuously
performed service on either the RASL or the Active-Duty List (or a
combination of both lists) for a period of one year immediately
preceding the convening date of the selection board considering
them for promotion. However, officers whose established date for
removal from the RASL is within 90 days after the date the board
is convened will not be considered by the board. Officers whose
lineal control number (LCN) precedes the senior officer In-Zone
are defined as Above-Zone. Those Above-Zone officers who have not
been previously considered are defined as "Above-Zone, not
previously considered." Officers in this status are considered by
the board to be In-Zone. Officers may review reference (b) and
their eligibility for the board on the internet at the officer
promotion homepage. The senior and junior officers In-Zone (SR IZ
and JR IZ) and the junior officer eligible Below-Zone (JR BZ) are as
follows (Enclosures (1) and (2) of reference (b) apply):
