According to the Decree, the promotion of generals ahead of schedule is carried out uniformly and synchronously in the army, promptly and accurately motivating those with outstanding achievements in combat and work.
Consideration for promotion to the rank of general beyond the term is only given when the officer's current rank is two or more ranks lower than the highest rank of the position or title he or she is holding, which is the rank of general; during the term of holding a position, consideration is given for promotion beyond one rank. Promotion to the rank of general before the term is given when the officer's current rank is lower than the highest rank of the position or title he or she is holding.
The criteria for medals, exceptionally outstanding and outstanding achievements to be considered for promotion to the rank of general ahead of schedule are achievements in combat, combat service and work recognized in the form of commendation or state honorary titles, state awards according to the provisions of the Law on Emulation and Commendation (excluding forms of commendation based on seniority or dedication).
The time of being awarded medals, honorary titles of the state, and state prizes must be within the term of holding the current military rank. In case an officer has achieved many achievements during his/her term, only the highest achievement will be applied to consider promotion to a higher rank or ahead of schedule.
The Decree stipulates that officers whose current military rank is two or more ranks lower than the highest military rank of the position or title they are holding, which is the rank of general, and who have made exceptionally outstanding achievements will be considered for promotion to a higher rank when awarded one of the following forms of commendation:
