Who chairs the ACR board?

The chair of the ACR (Annual Career Review) board is typically the N1 or N3 department representative. This choice underscores the importance of these roles, as the N1 (Personnel) department handles personnel management, and the N3 (Operations) department deals with operational readiness and training. Their involvement ensures that the review process aligns with personnel policies and operational requirements within the organization.

In this context, having the N1 or N3 representative lead the board allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the candidates' qualifications, ensuring that all relevant aspects of career advancement—such as training, qualifications, and readiness—are appropriately considered. This structure establishes a balanced approach to career progression, guided by those who have direct oversight over personnel and operations. The collaboration between these departments is vital for making informed decisions that align with both personnel policies and operational needs.
