The Air Force has selected 1,282 master sergeants to advance to senior master sergeant, slightly increasing the selection rate from 8.63 percent last year to 8.77 percent. The promotion board considered 14,626 master sergeants in making its selections.
The Space Force’s small size has limited its capacity to consider what role it will play in future operations on and around the moon. That needs to change, according to Vice Chief of Operations Gen. Shawn Bratton.
