• The purpose of our Army is to fight and win
  our Nation's wars. We are an Army at war that is
  totally committed to victory. Our Soldiers who
  stand in harms way deserve the absolute best and
  most experienced leaders.  
• First and foremost, slate the best officer
  for the unit based on experience and skills.
•   Secondly, slate officers with
  combat/contingency experience to units scheduled
  for those types of operations and into the
  training base.
•   Avoid slating officers out of joint duty
  where the officer will lose the ability to
  complete joint qualification.
