This publication establishes guidance and procedures for Air Reserve Component (ARC) officer promotion, continuation, selective continuation, and selective early removal. This publication is divided into four parts. Part One gives a brief overview of the programs contained in this AFI and defines the strategic-level roles and responsibilities for those programs. Part Two establishes the objectives and procedures for promoting commissioned officers to grades first lieutenant through colonel. Part 3 outlines how to continue Air Force officers twice non-selected for promotion. Part 4 outlines promoting officers to the grades of brigadier and major general.
This interim change modifies board membership requirements in paragraph 5.3.4, removes reporting requirements in paragraphs 5.34, 6.6.2, and 18.2, and updates Attachment 7. It also increases the age limit for promotion to Brigadier General and Major General in the AFR. This instruction applies to AFR and ANG, but change in age limit only applies to AFR promotions. Where it does not apply to both components, the chapter, paragraph and attachment will reflect to which component it does apply
Paragraphs this edition names as changed:
Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
If AFI 36-2504 changes, these are the documents that point at it. Extracted from the publications' own text, so it reflects what we have read, not a complete dependency map. Every publishing office validates its own document; nobody validates the seams between them.
