The In-System Supplemental Promotion Process applies to which ranks?

• A. Staff Sergeants through Senior Master Sergeants
• B. Airman through Senior Airman
• C. Master Sergeants only
• D. Warrant Officers

Answer: (A)

The In-System Supplemental Promotion Process is used to promote mid-level enlisted personnel. It covers the range from Staff Sergeant up to Senior Master Sergeant, allowing qualified individuals to advance outside the regular board cycle when requirements and billets are available. This helps ensure timely progression for experienced NCOs who are ready for the next rank. It does not apply to the junior ranks, nor is it limited to a single rank, and Warrant Officers aren’t part of this process in today’s Air Force.
