In normal times, the time limit for the promotion of military ranks for officers is: from second lieutenant to first lieutenant, two years for those who graduated from college or above, and three years for others; from first lieutenant to captain, from captain to major, from major to lieutenant colonel, from lieutenant colonel to colonel, and from colonel to senior colonel; from senior colonel to senior colonel is an elective promotion, based on the officer's position, moral integrity, and contribution to national defense. During wartime, the time limit for the promotion of military ranks may be shortened, and the specific measures shall be formulated by the Central Military Committee according to the wartime situation. The time an officer spent studying in the academy was counted in the period of promotion. The novel " The General's Promotion " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
There was an age limit for the promotion of officers. For example, if a person graduated from a regular high school, a professional high school, a technical secondary school, or a technical school, he or she would be no more than 22 years old when taking the military academy examination in the army (as of January 1st of the year of application). The age limit for minority soldiers could be relaxed by one year. Freshmen, university students, and college graduates would be no more than 23 years old when taking the military academy examination in the army (as of January 1st of the year of application). Among the professional technical officers, the minimum term of promotion to the rank of second lieutenant was two years. For second lieutenant officers with college education, the minimum term of promotion to the rank of first lieutenant was three years, the maximum term of promotion was seven years, the maximum age for promotion was 32 years, and the maximum age for military service was 35 years. The minimum term of a captain was four years, the maximum term was nine years, the maximum age for promotion was 40 years, and the maximum age for military service was 40 years. The minimum term of a major was five years, the maximum term of a major was 12 years, the maximum age for promotion was 50 years, and the maximum age for military service was 50 years. From a soldier to a major general, it would take at least 31 years to become a major general. Different countries had different age requirements for promotion to the rank of captain. In the United States, it was usually between 25 - 26 years old, while in the United Kingdom, it was usually between 28 - 30 years old. The novel "The General's Promotion" is equally exciting.

Under the new military officer system, the minimum period of promotion for command and management officers was two years for second lieutenant to first lieutenant, three years for first lieutenant to captain, four years for captain to major, five years for major to lieutenant colonel, and four years for lieutenant colonel to colonel. The new military officer system introduced in January 2021 implemented a strict "one post, one rank". To be promoted to a higher rank, officers must meet three conditions at the same time: first, they must serve at least the minimum term of service at the same rank, and second, they must not exceed the maximum service age of the rank.(Second lieutenant, platoon chief officer, minimum term of service 2 years, maximum term of service 7 years; Lieutenant, company deputy, minimum term of service 3 years, maximum term of service 8 years; Captain, company chief officer, minimum term of service 4 years, maximum term of service 9 years, etc.), otherwise, they could only be forced to retire; Third, they had to take up the corresponding position of the higher military rank. Before the military reform, from 2005 to 2009, cadets who graduated at the age of 22 or 23 would be appointed as deputy platoon leaders of the first lieutenant company. They would be platoon leaders for two years, company commanders for three years, and section chiefs for two years. They could be promoted to battalion commanders and instructors at the age of 30. Company commanders of model companies could be directly promoted to battalion commanders, and combat regiment commanders must be equipped with personnel under the age of 35. The promotion time of officers in different periods was affected by many factors, including system adjustments and job requirements. The novel "The General's Promotion" is equally exciting.

The promotion of officers was related to many factors. First of all, there was a certain relationship between military rank and military position. For example, a captain with three stars was usually a general or deputy battalion officer. A major with two bars and one star was usually a deputy battalion officer or general battalion officer. However, the position order and military rank order were not issued at the same time, so there was a certain transition period. An officer's promotion was like climbing a flight of stairs. When the time came, he had to climb one step, or else his chances of promotion would be limited. Moreover, the development of the officers who worked at the grass-roots level below the regimental level was different from those who worked at the division level and above. The officers who had worked at the division level and above tended to be more adaptable and developed better in the local area, while the officers below the grass-roots level might face problems such as difficulty in transforming their professional abilities. In addition, the draft of the new Military Officer Law proposed to adjust the minimum term of office for second lieutenants, first lieutenants, captains, and majors from "2+3+4+5" to "2+2+3+6". This adjustment affected the promotion rhythm of officers, but the promotion was also restricted by the unit environment and manpower, such as the "one radish, one pit" personnel situation.

The current regulations of the China People's Liberation Army stipulated that the time limit for promotion was two years for a second lieutenant to a first lieutenant, and three years for a college graduate. The promotion from first lieutenant to captain was four years for each rank. The promotion from colonel to lieutenant general was an elective promotion, and there was no time limit. During wartime, the time limit for promotion of military ranks could be shortened. If an officer's rank is lower than the lowest rank of the new post due to promotion, or if he has made outstanding contributions in battle or work, his rank may be promoted in advance. When the time limit for promotion of military rank has expired, those who do not meet the requirements for promotion due to various reasons may postpone their promotion or retire from active service. The approval authority for the promotion of military ranks was generally based on the approval authority for the appointment and removal of posts. That was, the promotion of military ranks for officers above the level of division chief was approved by the Chairman of the Central Military Committee; the promotion of military ranks for officers at the level of deputy division and regiment chief was approved by the head of the major military region; the promotion of military ranks for officers at the level of deputy regiment and battalion chief was approved by the head of the army; the promotion of military ranks for officers below the level of deputy battalion chief was approved by the head of division chief, but the promotion of officers at the level of deputy division to senior colonel was approved by the Chairman of the Central Military Committee. The promotion of a deputy battalion officer to a major was approved by the commander of the army. In other countries, generals generally did not have specific requirements. Each country had requirements for the promotion of field officers and lieutenants, but the length of the term was very different. For example, the time limit for a second lieutenant to be promoted to a first lieutenant was one year, three years, one and a half years, and two years. For a captain to be promoted to a major, the time limit was four years, seven years, five years, and six years. The meaning of the promotion period was not exactly the same. Some only had a "lower limit" requirement for the rank age, which meant that they could not be promoted if they were not satisfied with the specified promotion period. After the period expired, they could continue to serve in their original rank because they did not meet other conditions. For example, some Japanese second lieutenants could serve until they were 53 years old and retire. In some countries, the promotion period was both a " lower limit " requirement for the rank and also a " upper limit " function. For example, the US military stipulated that the official rank of an officer must be promoted after the promotion period was over before it could be submitted to the " Promotion Committee " for consideration. However, if it was not approved by a majority vote after two deliberation, it should be forced to retire within 30 days. Basically, all countries required the military officer to have a rank that did not reach the highest rank of his position and had a good appraisal.

In the China military, there was no information about the promotion ratio of officers. In the U.S. military, the promotion ratio of officers was as follows: It was relatively easy for officers below the rank of captain to be promoted, and the promotion ratio was often 100%. When a captain was promoted to a major, the promotion ratio was 90%, when a major was promoted to a lieutenant colonel, the promotion ratio was 80%, and when a lieutenant colonel was promoted to a colonel, the promotion ratio was 65%. The promotion from captain to brigadier general required a strict assessment. The Promotion Selection Committee would list the names of the promoted officers based on their personal files and assessment results. The list would be reviewed by the ministers of the various military services, reported to the president for approval, and passed by the Senate. The promotion of senior officers above lieutenant general was even more demanding. It required the recommendation of the Minister of Defense, the nomination of the President, and the approval of the Senate. The novel "The General's Promotion" is equally exciting.
