Which grades are included in the quotas tied to fiscal year-end strength?

• A. SSgt through CMSgt
• B. Amn through SrA
• C. TSgt through MSgt
• D. SrA through MSgt

Answer: (A)

End-year strength quotas are used to manage how many people occupy the higher enlisted leadership grades at the end of the fiscal year. They apply to the noncommissioned officer and senior enlisted levels, from Staff Sergeant up through Chief Master Sergeant. Promotions into Amn through Senior Airman are governed by other flow processes tied to entry, training, and general manpower needs, not these end-of-year quotas. So the range that fits fiscal year-end strength control is Staff Sergeant through Chief Master Sergeant.
