How many mandatory components must be presented by a Soldier during the board?

The requirement for Soldiers during the board to present three mandatory components is based on the Army's established promotion board procedures. The components typically include topics such as general military knowledge, Soldier's competencies, and values, which are essential for evaluating a Soldier's readiness for promotion. These components are designed to assess comprehensive skills and knowledge that the board members need to consider when making promotion decisions.

Presenting three components ensures that Soldiers demonstrate a well-rounded understanding of both their individual roles and the broader mission of the Army. This procedure enhances the evaluation process by allowing board members to form a holistic view of the candidate’s abilities, leadership qualities, and commitment to the Army's values and standards.
