* A plus value in a cell indicates that the given rank is above establishment by this figure.
Military management has informed me that administrative procedures are currently underway towards advertising and conducting RDF promotion competitions to Commandant and Lieutenant Colonel rank. These competitions are planned to be conducted prior to the end of Quarter 1 2019. The administration of promotions from the rank of Lieutenant to Captain are also currently underway in close coordination with Brigades/Formations. These promotions are planned to be effected prior to the end of Quarter 1 2019.
There is no difference in the procedures employed to project vacancies within the RDF and the PDF.
