(3) Those officers who— (A) have been selected from below the zone for promotion to the next higher grade or by a vacancy promotion board, but whose names were removed from the list of officers recommended for promotion to that next higher grade resulting from that selection; (B) have not failed of selection for promotion to that next higher grade; and (C) are senior to the officer designated by the Secretary of the military department concerned to be the junior officer in the promotion zone eligible for consideration for promotion to that next higher grade and the officer so designated. (b) Officers Above the Zone.—Officers on the reserve active-status list are considered to be above the promotion zone for a grade and competitive category if they— (1) are eligible for consideration for promotion to the next higher grade; (2) are in the same grade as those officers in the promotion zone for that competitive category; and (3) are senior to the senior officer in the promotion zone for that competitive category.
