The benefits to the individual RA soldier under the old pennanent grade system will apply to all components and will become effective immediately upon promotion. The two advantages being retained are: A new type of and biological warfare agent protective equipment which underwent hundreds of hours of testing here, is nearing classification as a standard item fur U.S. Army use. The equipment, designated the XN1 15 collective protective equipment (CPE), is designed to protect the men and equipment within a command post carrier while eliminating the need for them to wear either protective clothing or a protective mask.

The popular idea that pennanent carried strong tenure as a protection during a reduction- - in- - force (RIF) is a myth DA officials said this week. In explaining the new system, they stressed the point thut soldiers wont lose anything by the change and in fact will gain by the fact that the old advantages are effective as soon as die soldier is promoted. A man who received a pennanent promotion under the old system, officials said, acquired a false sense of se- curity liecause it implied he would not lie reduced below that grade during a phasedown. There is no guarantee of this, officials said, and there has lieen no requirement in the past to even put this implied tenure to test. ' Even though the Army was greatly overstrength after the Korean War and it became necessary to suspend temporarily promotions to the higher grades, EM were not required to take a reduction in grade or revert to a lower permanent grade to accomplish a reduction force. Without some means of qualitative determination, the Army would nut lie disposed, to reduce individuals in grade to accomplish a force reduction. Army spokesmen also called attention to the fact that neither the Navy nor the Air Force has a dual promotion system. Each service simply promotes a man on the basis of a single system, as the Army will now do. While all soldiers are to retain benefits of the former permanent system, the service also will gain by ridding itself of a large administrative burden. The one-grapromotion at 28 years will lie a hard cadi lienefit for many soldiers under the new systenj. For de 7. de 6) grade continue to be made under existing policies. Anny spokesmen recalled that permanent promotions were suspendtxl during both World War II and the Korean War. Standards for permanent promotion have changed considerably over the years. Before and after World War II, hikes were liased on demonstration of great potential, a recommendation by commander and a score of at least 80 on a promotion exam. The pennanent system didnt return after the Korean War until 1958. Its stated purpose at that time was to provide stability and added recognition to NCO and specialist grades. For a long time, the hike was automatic upon AUS promotion to the next higher grade or competition of a short period in the AUS grade. Officials this week pointed out that there is no requirement in law to establish or maintain a permanent enlisted force structure. Xor is there a requirement to differentiate between permanent and temporary status of EM. Hie temporary promotion has always lieen the meaningful one in terms of increased pay, change in status, increased responsibility and change of insignia, the Army said. ed Decorate Now! en-t- trance and exit.
