DOPMA killed a lot of the older brevet, AUS, and battlefield promotion authorities. IRL the Army just brought back a pilot brevet program for critical fill positions through O-6, which required an amendment in the NDAA. Frocking has been the more typical method of filling empty billets. Frocking authority is normally delegated down to division or corps level. Reserve or AUS promotions could be brought in to allow for rapid growth with delegated authority. Using these authorities could allow MILGOV to avow that their officer promotions have legal legitimacy under pre-war US code.
