The ODD program is covered under the Department of the Army Personnel Policy Guidance for Contingency Operations in Support of Global War on Terrorism.
According to the policy, states are authorized to promote enlisted Soldiers through the rank of staff sergeant who are serving in a higher grade position within an ODD, provided they are otherwise qualified. Soldiers must meet all other criteria listed in Army National Guard Promotion and Reduction Policy.
Deployed Soldiers only compete for these assignments against other deployed Soldiers within the same ODD.
Soldiers in non-deployed units ranked higher on the promotion list are not available for assignments in the ODD.
"The responsibility that goes with wearing stripes is more than telling Soldiers what to do," Sprague said. "It is doing what is right, showing what right looks like and enforcing the standards. I know that each one of you will do an outstanding job and I am honored to induct you into the NCO Corps."
