The authorized active list of commissioned officer strength is determined by the Secretary of National Defense within the limits set by law.
Separate authorized lists exist for the Air Force, Navy, Judge Advocate General's Service, Chaplain Service, Medical Service Corps, and other branches, arms, and services.
Officers previously appointed in certain branches without specific designation are deemed appointed without specification in the Regular Force.

The Secretary of National Defense prescribes percentage limits for authorized numbers in each rank within promotion lists.
Maximum allowable percentages of total officer strength for grades in any promotion list: colonel (4%), lieutenant-colonel (10%), major (16%), captain (21%), combined first and second lieutenants (48.5%).
No second lieutenants in Medical, Dental, Judge Advocate General's, and Chaplain Services; first lieutenant numbers adjust accordingly.
Allows numbers authorized in lower grades in lieu of higher grades.
Provides multiple distinct promotion lists for Regular Force, Air Force, Navy, Judge Advocate General's Service, Medical Corps, Dental Corps, Veterinary Corps, Medical Administrative Corps, Nurse Corps, and Chaplain Service.

Judge Advocate General's, Chaplain, Medical, and Dental Corps original appointments are at first lieutenant grade.
Appointment requirements include age limits and professional experience in law, ministry/priesthood, medicine, or dentistry as applicable.
