National Guard Promotion Improvement Act of 2022
The National Guard Promotion Improvement Act of 2022 addresses delays in federal approval of promotions for reserve officers in the Army and Air National Guard. It requires the Department of Defense to conduct a study on improving the promotion recognition process, including exploring technology solutions and best practices from state guards. The bill also mandates backdating promotions for officers affected by delays exceeding 60 days (not caused by the officer), adjusting the effective date to no later than 60 days after the National Guard Bureau received the promotion. Additionally, it establishes annual reporting to Congress on promotion delay metrics and progress toward reducing delays below 60 days.
