How is my rank determined?

If the panel selects you for commission, your commission can be in the rank of Captain – Colonel based on education, civilian experience, military experience (if applicable) and other certifications. There is a strict calculation called Constructive Service Credit (CSC) that is used for all candidates, which is governed by Civil Affairs Proponent policy and Army regulation such as Army Directive 2019-27 and DoD Instruction 1312.03. Most candidates are commissioned in the ranks of Captain or Major.
