What type of promotion is shared between the unit and HRC?

The semi-centralized promotion is characterized by the collaboration between the unit and the Human Resources Command (HRC) in the promotion process. This type of promotion allows units to have a significant role in recommending Soldiers for promotion while still adhering to the overall guidelines and requirements established by HRC.

The semi-centralized approach ensures that the unit can consider specific qualities and performance metrics of Soldiers within its ranks, making it a more tailored and responsive promotion path. Meanwhile, HRC provides overarching policy and regulation, thereby maintaining standards across the Army as a whole. This collaboration leads to a system that combines local insight with higher-level oversight, ensuring fairness and consistency in the promotion process while still recognizing the individuality of Soldiers' contributions to their units.

In contrast, other promotion types have differing levels of involvement from the unit or HRC; for instance, unit level promotions are primarily managed at the unit level without direct HRC involvement. DA Centralized Promotions are handled completely at the Department of the Army level, and combined promotions might suggest a different process or structure not specifically outlined in current Army promotion practices.
