Army promotion cutoff scores and point trends
Search army promotion points and cutoff scores here: browse reviewed Regular Army HQDA promotion cutoff history by MOS and grade, plus a manual promotion-points worksheet for category totals you enter. Select any chart point or table row to see the exact cutoff value, effective month, semantic status, and source attribution. Green Book does not scrape CutoffScores.com or IPPS-A and does not predict future cutoffs.

How to use
- Choose MOS and grade (SGT / E5 or SSG / E6). Only Regular Army published cutoffs appear.
- Pick a lookback range (6 / 12 / 24 months or all available), anchored to the latest published effective month.
- Select a chart point (click, touch, or keyboard) or a table row to inspect the exact value — including special statuses 24, 798, and N/A.
- Optionally use the manual worksheet tab to total promotion-point categories you enter — not values pulled from IPPS-A.
- Read source attribution on the selected point and in the monthly table. Verify current requirements with HRC/IPPS-A and your S-1.
Examples
Example: 11B · SGT / E5 shows a numeric trend line; select March to read the exact points value and source link.
Example: 13R may include 798 — No promotions needed; the marker sits on the baseline and remains selectable.
Historical, reviewed cutoff information from published HQDA memoranda — not a prediction and not updated in real time. GreenBook does not forecast future cutoffs. Missing months are honest gaps. Special statuses (24 / 798 / N/A) are not numeric trend heights. Verify current requirements with HRC/IPPS-A and your S-1. NCO on Fire is a mirror host when applicable, not an official Army website.
Published cutoff history — 11B SGT
The upper chart plots numeric cutoffs only; the line breaks across special or missing months (no interpolation). Special months (24 / 798 / N/A) appear only in the labeled Special status lane below the score axis — never as numeric heights or zero. Ranges are anchored to the latest published effective month.
Numeric cutoffs plot in the upper score chart. Special statuses (24 / 798 / N/A) appear only in the labeled Special status lane below — they are not scores and are never plotted as zero. Tab into the point navigator, then use Left/Right and Enter/Space. The monthly table is a complete equivalent.
Selected state uses a dashed ring plus a “Selected” table label — not color alone.
No cutoff month selected.

Data source & provenance
Cutoff months come only from publications an admin has reviewed and published. Each row is labelled by source: an Official Army source is a direct HRC/HQDA document, while an HQDA memorandum mirrored by NCO on Fire is a validated HQDA memorandum located on the NCO on Fire archive — NCO on Fire itself is not an official Army website. The issuer of record is shown separately from where a document was hosted.
Historical reference only. Verify current promotion information through HRC/IPPS-A and your servicing S-1.
This tool is not updated in real time and does not automatically discover new cutoffs — data appears only after a human review and publish step.
CutoffScores.com is a manual reference only — not official, not scraped, and not a source for this tool. CutoffScores.com

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an account?
- No. This public army promotion points and cutoff tool is Free. Sign in only if you want the signed-in workspace experience at /career/promotion-trends.
- Is this an official HRC promotion points calculator?
- No. Green Book is independent. Charts show admin-published HQDA history, and the worksheet uses totals you enter. Verify your official PPW with HRC, IPPS-A, and your S-1.
- Does Green Book scrape CutoffScores.com?
- No. CutoffScores.com is not scraped, ingested, or treated as official. Use HRC publications and your unit process for decisions.
- Can I enter my promotion points here?
- Yes — use the manual worksheet for category totals you control. Green Book does not pull points from IPPS-A or automatically verify your records.
- Does this predict my promotion?
- No. Green Book shows historical published cutoffs only and does not forecast future scores or guarantee promotion.
- Why are some months missing or marked 24 / 798 / N/A?
- Missing months are honest gaps in published history. 24 means not enough eligible Soldiers, 798 means no promotions needed, and N/A means not applicable — these are not numeric trend heights.
- Is NCO on Fire an official Army website?
- No. When a row is attributed as an HQDA memorandum mirrored by NCO on Fire, the memorandum is HQDA content hosted on that mirror archive — NCO on Fire itself is not an official Army website.
