QMP news to share with the force

2014-04-15T09:32:34-04:00

Just got this in an email and thought I would share.

The SecArmy approved Army Directive 2014-06 revising Army
policies of the

Qualitative Management Program (QMP) that are applicable
to RA and USAR

(AGR) Soldiers.
The QMP identifies NCOs for denial of continued service

when their performance, conduct, or potential for
advancement do not meet

Army standards.
The revised QMP policy includes the following changes:

(1) Expands
eligibility to include SSG and above, regardless of total years

of active federal service;

(2) Screening
procedures now include consideration of official documents

(poor performance or misconduct) in the Soldier's current
grade, for

permanent filing in either the performance or restricted
folder of the Army

Military Human Resource Record (AMHRR)

(3) Subject the
following NCOs to the QMP process when they fail to qualify

themselves for promotion consideration to the next grade
because they have

not completed the appropriate level of Noncommissioned
Officer Education

System (i.e. SSGs upon attainment of 48 months time in
grade (TIG) without

having graduated the Advanced Leaders Course; SFCs upon
attainment of 48

months TIG without having graduated the Senior Leaders
Course.)

Our plan will roll-out application of these new policies
by considering

affected CSM/SGM/1SG/MSG beginning with the upcoming FY14
SGM Training and

Selection Board (Jun 14); affected SFC will begin with
the FY15 MSG Board

(Feb 15); and affected SSGs will begin with the FY15 SFC
Board (Jun 15).

This is right for our Army as we execute the drawdown and
continue to

emphasize accountability.
NCOs who have failed to complete NCOES need to

get it done - need your help to spread the word.

Downsizing is never easy, nor is it ever pleasant. If you are no longer competitive, your services will no longer be needed... at least until the services, once again, need to build back up. We went through this after Desert Storm, and I sincerely hope that current leadership learned from the mistakes they made in how they handled the drawdown then.

What's alarming to me is the talk of sending more troops in and cuts at the same time.
