If this were the plans for the Army....there would be SOOOOOOO many folks promoted. Damn slackers, loophole finders and deployment dodgers.

I believe Army Command has already implemented this as a follow-up the Mattis' original DoD Policy from last year.

I retired in ‘05, and am surprised when I see any senior NCO with no combat patch. They are light on the right and it tells me they have spent their time hiding out and dodging deployments.

Temporary or permanent non-deployability. If it is permanent, then they should be discharged.
Definitely effects a unit's capability.

"There is at least one exception to the policy: if you are non-deployable due to being dead, then you can rest in peace knowing that you will not be posthumously promoted against your will...."
