ARMY PROMOTION POINTS FOR COMBAT EXPERIENCE AND WEAPONS
TOTAL MAXIMUM POINTS FOR MILITARY TRAINING: 340 for Promotion to SGT and 255 for Promotion to SSG
Combat Experience (30 points maximum – SGT; 60 points maximum – SSG).
To recognize the invaluable experiences gained while serving on combat deployments, Soldiers will receive 2 promotion
points for each incremental month of federal service in specified operations, as defined by the DCS, G-3. Combat
deployments are defined as an overseas operation in a designated combat zone (i.e., OIF, OEF). Source document is the
Enlisted Records Brief (ERB).
Weapons Qualification: 160 points maximum for E5/SGT; 100 points maximum for E6/SSG.
1) Weapons qualification will comprise the most recent qualification score (but not older than 24 months) with individual
assigned weapon.
2) The most recent qualification will be used. However, if the Soldier fails to qualify through his or her own fault, no valid
score will exist. Qualification scores will be provided by the commander for input to the database. If individual weapon
qualification cannot be provided by the commander and verifying information is not available, zero promotion points will
be awarded.
3) A Soldier's individually assigned weapon should normally be the M16A2 rifle; however, it may be another individually
assigned weapon when duty or MTOE requires (for example, 9 mm pistol for military police). The commander's decision
applies.
4) Weapons qualification charts are provided (Table E5 for promotion to SGT and Table E6 for promotion to SSG).
Soldiers assigned to an organization without weapons can use their latest qualification. However, once assigned to an
organization with weapons, the Soldier will have 12 months to qualify with assigned weapon or will lose their most recent
score.
5) Soldiers with physical profiles resulting from combat related operations as defined in DODI 1332.28 who are unable to
qualify with a weapon due to a physical profile will use their last weapons qualification score until the Soldier is medically
cleared to fire for qualification. If the Soldier’s last qualifying score was a failing score, that Soldier (regardless of primary
weapon assigned) will be granted a minimum qualifying score of 23 hits (M16 scale-DA Form 5790-R). The provisions of
AR 600-8-4 must be met before application of this paragraph.
