What is the TIS requirement to promote to Staff Sergeant (SSG)?

To promote to Staff Sergeant (SSG), the Time in Service (TIS) requirement is 70 months. This requirement ensures that soldiers have sufficient experience and maturity in their military roles to take on the added responsibilities that come with the rank of SSG. This TIS period allows soldiers to develop and demonstrate the leadership skills, tactical proficiency, and technical knowledge necessary for effective performance at this level.

Promotion timelines like this are established to ensure that soldiers are adequately prepared for the challenges they will face in leadership roles, contributing to overall unit effectiveness. The focus on time served reflects the Army's commitment to promoting individuals who have had meaningful experience in various duty positions.
