Background material, Army officer special career programs.
No full textThe enclosed background material is provided for use in orienting students on the Army officer special career programs. Special career programs are designed to develop and utilize officers who are particularly well qualified in certain functional areas. Such areas are of critical Army-wide importance but do not, however, fall within the development pattern of any single career branch. They provide a system for producing officers who are both branch competent and skilled in a particular specialty. Their purpose is not to interfere with branch development, but to provide a system for channeling officers' careers along selected lines. The programs are an essential part of the Army's personnel management system. Headings include: purpose and concept; individual development opportunities and career management; current programs; program management; enrollment procedures; promotions – 1968 (to Major, to Lt. Colonel, and to Colonel); and officer special career programs and related academic disciplines
