SEPARATION

Sec. 14502. Special selection boards: correction of errors

-STATUTE-

(a) Officers Not Considered Because of Administrative Error. -

(1) In the case of an officer or former officer who the Secretary

of the military department concerned determines was not considered

for selection for promotion from in or above the promotion zone by

a mandatory promotion board convened under section 14101(a) of this

title because of administrative error, or whose name was not placed

on an all-fully-qualified-officers list under section 14308(b)(4)

of this title because of administrative error, the Secretary

concerned shall convene a special selection board under this

subsection to determine whether such officer or former officer

should be recommended for promotion. Any such board shall be

convened under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense

and shall be appointed and composed in accordance with section

14102 of this title and shall include the representation of

competitive categories required by that section. The members of a

board convened under this subsection shall be required to take an

oath in the same manner as prescribed in section 14103 of this

title.

(2) A special selection board convened under this subsection

shall consider the record of the officer or former officer as that

record would have appeared to the promotion board that should have

considered the officer or former officer. That record shall be

compared with a sampling of the records of those officers of the

same grade and competitive category who were recommended for

promotion and those officers of the same grade and competitive

category who were not recommended for promotion by that board.

(3) If a special selection board convened under paragraph (1)

does not recommend for promotion an officer or former officer in a

grade below the grade of colonel or, in the case of an officer or

former officer of the Navy, captain, whose name was referred to it

for consideration, the officer or former officer shall be

considered to have failed of selection for promotion.

(b) Officers Considered But Not Selected; Material Error. - (1)

In the case of an officer or former officer who was eligible for

promotion and was considered for selection for promotion from in or

above the promotion zone under this chapter by a selection board

but was not selected, the Secretary of the military department

concerned may, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of

Defense, convene a special selection board under this subsection to

determine whether the officer or former officer should be

recommended for promotion, if the Secretary determines that -

(A) the action of the selection board that considered the

officer or former officer was contrary to law or involved

material error of fact or material administrative error; or

(B) the selection board did not have before it for its

consideration material information.

(2) A special selection board convened under paragraph (1) shall

be appointed and composed in accordance with section 14102 of this

title (including the representation of competitive categories

required by that section), and the members of such a board shall

take an oath in the same manner as prescribed in section 14103 of

this title.

(3) Such board shall consider the record of the officer or former

officer as that record, if corrected, would have appeared to the

selection board that considered the officer or former officer.

That record shall be compared with a sampling of the records of

those officers of the same grade and competitive category who were

recommended for promotion and those officers of the same grade and

competitive category who were not recommended for promotion by that

board.

(4) If a special selection board convened under paragraph (1)

does not recommend for promotion an officer or former officer in

the grade of lieutenant colonel or commander or below whose name

was referred to it for consideration, the officer or former officer

shall be considered to have failed of selection for promotion by

the board which did consider the officer but incurs no additional

failure of selection for promotion from the action of the special

selection board.

(c) Report. - Each special selection board convened under this

section shall submit to the Secretary of the military department

concerned a written report, signed by each member of the board,

containing the name of each officer it recommends for promotion and

certifying that the board has considered carefully the record of

each officer whose name was referred to it.

(d) Applicable Provisions. - The provisions of sections 14104,

14109, 14110, and 14111 of this title apply to the report and

proceedings of a special selection board convened under this

section in the same manner as they apply to the report and

proceedings of a promotion board convened under section 14101(a) of

this title.

(e) Appointment of Officers Recommended for Promotion. - (1) An

officer whose name is placed on a promotion list as a result of

recommendation for promotion by a special selection board convened

under this section, shall, as soon as practicable, be appointed to

the next higher grade in accordance with the law and policies which

would have been applicable had he been recommended for promotion by

the board which should have considered or which did consider him.

(2) An officer who is promoted to the next higher grade as the

result of the recommendation of a special selection board convened

under this section shall, upon such promotion, have the same date

of rank, the same effective date for the pay and allowances of that

grade, and the same position on the reserve active-status list as

the officer would have had if the officer had been recommended for

promotion to that grade by the selection board which should have

considered, or which did consider, the officer.

(3) If the report of a special selection board convened under

this section, as approved by the President, recommends for

promotion to the next higher grade an officer not currently

eligible for promotion or a former officer whose name was referred

to it for consideration, the Secretary concerned may act under

section 1552 of this title to correct the military record of the

officer or former officer to correct an error or remove an

injustice resulting from not being selected for promotion by the

board which should have considered, or which did consider, the

officer.

(f) Time Limits for Consideration. - The Secretary of Defense may

prescribe by regulation the circumstances under which consideration

by a special selection board is contingent upon application for

consideration by an officer or former officer and time limits

within which an officer or former officer must make such

application in order to be considered by a special selection board

under this section.

(g) Limitation of Other Jurisdiction. - No official or court of

the United States shall have power or jurisdiction -

(1) over any claim based in any way on the failure of an

officer or former officer of the armed forces to be selected for

promotion by a selection board convened under chapter 1403 of

this title until -

(A) the claim has been referred to a special selection board

by the Secretary concerned and acted upon by that board; or

(B) the claim has been rejected by the Secretary without

consideration by a special selection board; or

(2) to grant any relief on such a claim unless the officer or

former officer has been selected for promotion by a special

selection board convened under this section to consider the

officer's claim.

(h) Judicial Review. - (1) A court of the United States may

review a determination by the Secretary concerned under subsection

(a)(1), (b)(1), or (e)(3) not to convene a special selection

board. If a court finds the determination to be arbitrary or

capricious, not based on substantial evidence, or otherwise

contrary to law, it shall remand the case to the Secretary

concerned, who shall provide for consideration of the officer or

former officer by a special selection board under this section.

(2) If a court finds that the action of a special selection board

which considers an officer or former officer was contrary to law or

involved material error of fact or material administrative error,

it shall remand the case to the Secretary concerned, who shall

provide the officer or former officer reconsideration by a new

special selection board.

(i) Designation of Boards. - The Secretary of the military

department concerned may designate a promotion board convened under

section 14101(a) of this title as a special selection board

convened under this section. A board so designated may function in

both capacities.
