Ar 601 50: Fill & Download for Free

Theoretically I suppose it’s possible. The routes to a commission are via the Military Academy, ROTC, OCS, and a Battlefield Commission. AR 601–50 still allows for this time of appointment as a ‘temporary officer’. So lets rule that one out given how unlikely it is to happen. That leaves us with West Point, ROTC, and OCS. West Point has an age cut off of 23. ROTC is 39. OCS is 32. These can be adjusted based on the amount of time the sergeant has already served. However, at some point along the way the MSG must have obtained a Bachelor’s degree.Is it likely? An enlisted man who makes E-8 in the absolute least amount of time allowed (8 years - which is completely insane) would be 26. More likely he will have done 15 years or more, putting him at 35. Still within the realm of possibility for them to get out, go to college, knock out a degree and get a commission with ROTC.But perhaps you were asking if there is a normal method of promotion from Master Sgt to officer. The answer to that is no.

A battlefield promotion (or field promotion) is an advancement in military rank that occurs while deployed in combat. A standard field promotion is advancement from current rank to the next higher rank; a "jump-step" promotion is advancement from current rank to a rank above the next highest.Contents1 United Kingdom2 United States2.1 History3 India4 See also5 ReferencesUnited KingdomRifleman Gigar Das was given a field promotion to Lance Corporal in 2014 after serving eight years in the 1st Battalion The Rifles. Das had been deployed on three tours in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. Das was promoted after General Sir Peter Wall, Chief of the General Staff witnessed him giving a training session in marksmanship principles.[1] General Wall was astonished that Das was still only a Rifleman. He immediately promoted Das after consulting his company commander, Major Sam Cates. The Ministry of Defence confirmed the last field promotion was believed to have happened during the Korean War in 1953.[2]United StatesA battlefield promotion is awarded to enlisted soldiers who are promoted to a higher enlisted rank during combat or combat conditions. The US Army discontinued this practice after the Vietnam War with the centralized promotion system, but in 2009 decided to again allow such promotions.[3] "Battlefield promotions are predicated on extraordinary performance of duties while serving in combat or under combat conditions." It can be used to promote an individual soldier one grade, to at most staff sergeant, and has a variety of constraints.[4] This promotion does not involve a promotion board and does not require the soldier meet time in service or time in grade requirements. Soldiers given a field promotion from corporal to sergeant must complete the Basic Leader Course or BLC. A sergeant field promoted to staff sergeant must complete the Advanced Leader Course (ALC) and both have 270 days after redeployment to a home station.[5] Extensions can be applied for but failure to complete the required courses will result in an administrative reduction in rank.[6]A battlefield commission is awarded to enlisted soldiers who are promoted to the rank of commissioned officer for outstanding leadership on the field of battle. The granting of a battlefield commission has its historical precursor in the medieval practice of the knighting or ennoblement of a plebeian combatant on the battleground for demonstration of heroic qualities in an exceptional degree. In the medieval context, this martial achievement was often one of the main restricted pathways into the sword-bearing feudal aristocracy.Normally, enlisted service members or non-commissioned officers cannot attain commissioned officer rank through regular promotion. Starting in 1917, during World War I, the United States Army started awarding battlefield commissions to soldiers to replace the "Brevet Officer" system (the promotion of an enlisted man to a commissioned officer without an increase in pay). The Marine Corps started awarding battlefield commissions in place of the Brevet Medal, which was second only to the Medal of Honor. From World War I to the Vietnam War, over 31,200 sailors, soldiers, Marines, and airmen had been awarded battlefield commissions. Such a commission is usually advancement from a position of non-commissioned officer to a commissioned officer, generally O-1 - Second Lieutenant, or Ensign in the Navy and Coast Guard. The most significant aspect of a battlefield commission is that it is granted apart from the regular commission sources: Officer Training School/Officer Candidate School, Reserve Officer Training Corps or a service academy. Battlefield commissions are awarded on the basis of merit and demonstration of leadership, and bypass this step. The most notable recipient of a battlefield commission was Audie Murphy, who was promoted from Staff Sergeant to Second Lieutenant during World War II. Once on a peacetime footing, battlefield-commissioned officers are required to meet the normal requirements within a timeframe in order to be retained (e.g., a bachelor's degree[citation needed]).HistoryFrom 1845 through 1918, enlisted men who were commissioned for outstanding leadership on the field of battle were referred to as Brevet Officers. The Marine Corps recognized the value of combat leaders who were commissioned in this manner and created a Brevet Medal which was second only to the Medal of Honor. In the wars following 1918, enlisted men and warrant officers, commissioned for the same reason, were referred to as battlefield commissioned.World War I — From 1917 to 1918 approximately 6,000 non-commissioned officers were awarded battlefield commissions.World War II — From 1941-1945 approximately 25,500 men were awarded battlefield commissions worldwide. The United States Marine Corps also awarded battlefield commissions during the same period but no records were kept of the total. At the conclusion of World War II a board of officers reporting to the Commanding General of the European Theater stated "The one sure method of determining whether any individual has qualities which make him a successful leader in combat is to observe that man in combat."[7] Battlefield commissions were approved by the War Department.Korean War — From 1950-1953 a system parallel to that of World War II was adopted. The Department of Defense cannot provide figures on the number promoted. The Marine Corps did not award battlefield commissions during the Korean War.Vietnam War — From 1963-1973 the Marine Corps Commandant appointed a permanent Board with the mission of selecting those enlisted men of the Marine Corps whose performance under fire while serving in Vietnam merited a commission. A list of 62 enlisted men who were commissioned includes one man who was killed before he could accept his commission.The US Army has current regulations[8] allowing battlefield commissions (technically "Battlefield Appointments") but it is unclear when they were last used.IndiaLieutenant Vikram Batra was given a field promotion to Captain in 1999, during the Kargil War (Operation Vijay). During the war, the task of capturing Point 5140 was assigned to the "13 JAK RIF" under the command of (then) Lt. Col. Yogesh Kumar Joshi. On 27 June 1999, after the capture of Point 5140, Lt. Batra was promoted to the rank of "Captain". General Ved Prakash Malik, the then Chief of Army Staff, called to congratulate him.See alsoKnight banneretMilitary rankPromotion (rank)References"A soldier has been honoured with the British Army's first promotion in the field since 1953".
