The sergeant first class promotions, totaling 578, will reduce the February 2010 list to 1,674 names.

January cutoff scores authorize 877 promotions to staff sergeant, and 1,731 to sergeant.

These promotions will go to soldiers in an Army-wide pool of 22,719 promotable sergeants, and 22,748 promotable specialists and corporals.
