CHAPTER SIX - 501st LEGION PROMOTION AUTHORITY While promotions are recommended, they are only adequate when several elements are met. First and most importantly is the activity of the individual who may warrant a promotion. The individual must be fairly to extremely active depending on the magnitude of the rank to be promoted to. Second, the individual must have served in the Territories for a certain time period before being promoted to another rank. Since these time frames are not specified, you are responsible for making the determination. For the higher ranks a third element is required which focuses on achieving something that affects the Territories as a whole, rather it be a continuing competition or major project to name a few. Upon achieving these elements, an officer may be evaluated further for a promotion.
