The SMDP allows for analysis of all branches and AOCs authorized by state force structure documents to determine career progression patterns for officers within the state. The SMDP is used to determine how many officers in each branch, functional area and AOC the adjutant general needs to develop. Orderly career planning provides for progressive duty assignments and military schooling to meet current needs and develop officer skills for future assignments. The professional capabilities of all officers are developed through planned and progressively responsible assignments. This ensures a sufficient number of qualified officers are available at all times to accomplish assigned missions.
All officers are aware of the guidelines and expectations concerning career planning.
