Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Equalization of Promotion in the Line of the Army The committee met pursuant to the call of the chairman at 2.30 o´clock p. m., Senator Geo. E. Chamberlain (chairman) presiding. The Chairman. Gentlemen of the committee, we have so far relaxed the rule that was heretofore adopted by the committee in reference to the calling of other witnesses before the committee to have with us a number of officers to testify in reference to the recommendation of the Secretary of War ad interim, Gen. Scott, for the enactment of a section of the Army reorganization bill equalizing promotions in the line of the Army and adjustment of rank in grade, which is as follows: Equalizing Promotion In The Line Of The Army And Adjustment Of Rank In Grade. Sec. A. In each grade below that of brigadier general, in the land forces in the service of the United States, an officer´s rank and precedence and, in case of a line officer, his eligibility to command, shall he determined by the length of his continuous service as a commissioned officer in the military service of the United States; Provided, That in the case of any officer who now occupies, or who may hereafter occupy, an anomalous position in the lineal list of his arm which docs not correspond to the length of his continuous commissioned service, a date of precedence shall be assigned by the President of the United States from which shall be calculated the length of his constructive continuous commissioned service. The date so assigned shall be as nearly coincident with the actual date of commencement of his continuous commissioned service as may be consistent with his anomalous position in lineal rank in his own arm, corps, or department; Provided further, That nothing in this act shall change the present arrangement of officers in the lineal list of their respective arms. Sec. B. That whenever any part of the Cavalry, Field Artillery. Coast Artillery, and Infantry is increased or the number of officers in any of these branches is increased, the original vacancies above the grade of second lieutenant due to the increase shall he filled from the next lower grade in the four branches, the number of officers promoted from each branch to be proportional to the number of officers of that grade in the four branches as nearly as may he practicable: Provided, That the order of promotion in any branch shall he in the order of the lineal list of that branch; Provided further, That, so far as practicable, officers shall be promoted in their own branch; Provided further. That when any officer is nominated for promotion into any branch other than his own he may waive such promotion, and in this case the vacancy shall pass consecutively to the officer next below him in the lineal list of his own branch; And provided also.
