The
Brigade Commander sends you an email requesting information regarding his junior officers. Specifically, he wants a list of the WO1/2LT and 1LT/CPTs in the brigade with a date of rank beginning in January 2009. He wants the roster arranged by last name, first name, rank, unit, DOR, and BASD. Additionally, he wants the roster sorted by rank.

The Division G1 Officer Strength Manager informs you that two inbound officers (MAJ Gallier and CW3 Pendleton) will arrive to your organization in 30 days. The Bde Commander wants you to verify their Branch and EFF DT/ADOR for the purpose of identifying duty positions and rating chains. Use iPERMS versus eTOPMIS to retrieve and view the promotion orders for MAJ Gallier and CW3 Pendleton to verify their Branch/MOS and EFF DT/ADOR.
