The new MRD Extension policy applies to officers in the grades of O-3 to O-10. It allows the Army to select individuals with the knowledge, skills, and behaviors to deliver strategic impacts. Similar to the SELCON process, officers cannot apply for this program but must be selected and agree to the extension before their file is submitted to the board. The board must consider the balance between extensions and the overall force strength. While the initiative most directly impacts the Foreign Area Officer, Medical Corps, and Army War College proponents, Engineer and Infantry branches are also included.
