BRANCHES ARE defined as management groupings of officers who will be developed in designated specialties to meet Army requirements. Specialty preferences will be solicited from lieutenant colonel and lower grades after publication of a professional development pamphlet which will describe each specialty and contain illustrative career patterns. DA will designate the specialties for each officer based upon Army requirements and the qualifications and preferences of the officer. OPMS WILL APPLY to commissioned officers in all branches except the Army Medical Department, Judge Advocate Generals Corps and the Chaplains Corps. When OPMS is fully implemented, newly commissioned officers will receive their initial development in a basic entry specialty related to their branch. Officers will develop their qualifications in this specialty during the company grade period.

Implementation of the OPMS is expected to continue summer of 1974. The development pamphlets are the into expected to be published during die second quarter of fiscal year 1974. IMPLEMENTATION FOR lieutenant colonels will begin in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1974, and for majors and captains in the first quarter of fiscal year 1975. The command selection process has also been expanded and modified, with selection boards choosing commanders under separate lists and criteria for troop commands, logistics commands and district engineers. Separate boards will be convened for the combat arms, combat support arms and logistics.
