- Echo Company Training and promotion
minimums.
(Email me if any issues)
- Promotions at all levels in the VDF are based on two
over-arching standards:
superior performance of assigned duties and the demonstrated
potential for service at the next highest grade.
- A “best qualified” standard will be used for promotion
consideration. The fact that a VDF member may be “fully
qualified” administratively (i.e., sufficient TIG, required
training, etc.), does not mean that the member must be promoted
to the next highest grade.
- Promotion boards will give appropriate weight to the service
of VDF members in troop leadership positions (squad leader,
platoon sergeant, platoon leader, company commander, etc) in the
promotion selection process.
- Minimum drill attendance standard for promotions is 83% (10
of the last 12 scheduled drills
