How are promotion board members divided into panels?

Promotion boards are organized into three-person panels, each consisting of one Colonel and two Chiefs, with the board president always a General Officer. This setup blends senior officer experience with senior enlisted leadership input, ensuring balanced, fair evaluations of candidates. Having two Colonels or three Generals would shift the balance toward a narrower view, while a mix of only Captains or a Major and Captains would lack the necessary senior perspective; the designated General Officer as president maintains consistent governance across the whole board.
