FY27 Non-Special Duty Assignment (Non-SDA) Meritorious Promotion Allocations

1.  Purpose.  To announce the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027
non-SDA meritorious promotion allocations.
2.  Commands listed below will convene selection boards to nominate 
Marines for meritorious promotion by the Commandant of the Marine 
Corps (CMC).  Marines already selected for the next grade by a 
regular promotion board are still eligible for meritorious promotion
to that grade if their seniority number has not been reached.  Upon 
review and approval, Enlisted Promotions Unit (MMPB-11), reports 
unit diary entries so commanders can prepare certificates of 
appointment.  Selected Marines must have at least 24 months 
obligated service remaining on contract from the date of promotion.
3.  Per reference (b), meritorious promotion allocations for Gunnery 
Sergeant (GySgt) and Staff Sergeant (SSgt) are:
