What is required for a Soldier to be recommended for the Army Command List Integrated?

To be recommended for the Army Command List Integrated, a Soldier must complete SSD level 1 for SGT. This requirement emphasizes the importance of professional development and education within the Army. SSD, or Structured Self-Development, is designed to provide Soldiers with additional training and knowledge that enhances their skills and prepares them for increased responsibilities as they progress in rank. Completing SSD level 1 signifies that the Soldier has engaged in the necessary professional growth, which is a prerequisite for being considered for leadership roles, such as those included in the Command List. This standard helps ensure that those who are recommended not only have the experience but also the educational foundation necessary for effective leadership in the Army.
