§3754 — Title 14 Coast Guard | U.S. Code

Summary

Reserve rear admirals (both full and lower half) who are not kept on active duty by some other law must be retired on July 1 of the promotion year that comes right after the promotion year in which they finished four years of service after being made rear admiral (lower half). If promotions from inactive lists to rear admiral are not done by a paired ("running mate") system, a Reserve officer on active duty as rear admiral (lower half) must be promoted to rear admiral, if the President and Senate approve, when the officer has served two years on active duty in that grade. If a vacancy opens before two years, the officer is promoted on the vacancy date if they have at least one year of active service in the lower half grade.
