Results of the Qualitative Management Board that met in March are being distributed to units today in preparation for commander notices to noncommissioned officers who were evaluated for possible involuntary separation.

QMP is a quality-control process normally held in conjunction with Regular Army and Active Guard and Reserve senior NCO promotion boards.

Soldiers are subject to QMP processing and possible involuntary separation when derogatory information is placed in the performance or restricted section of their official file, which is called the Army Military Human Resource Record.

Documents that can trigger a QMP screening must be based on performance or conduct that occurred during a soldier's current grade. The Army does not reach back to events that occurred early in a soldier's career, and were documented in the board file used for their most recent promotion selection.

The QMP board met in conjunction with the fiscal 2016 Regular Army and Active Guard and Reserve (Army Reserve) master sergeant promotion boards.

Soldiers who were selected by the QMP panel, and who are not eligible for retirement, will be separated Nov. 1.

The results of the promotion boards will be released by the Human Resources Command at 0730 EST, Tuesday May 10.
