CRITERIA
A nominee for the Order of the Eagle Rising Society must: be a military or federal civilian employee retiree that served with distinction within the military community; have contributed significantly and conspicuously to the promotion of the Warrant Officer Community and the U.S. Army over the course of an entire career and beyond; maintained the highest standards of integrity, moral character, professional competence, and dedication to duty; displayed an outstanding degree of professional competency while serving the U.S. Army community with distinction.
The nominee’s contributions to the Army and Warrant Officer Community must have occurred over the course of an entire career. (The nominee must have been retired for at least five years at the time the nominee is inducted in the Society. A posthumous nominee must have been retirement eligible at the time of death). The nominee’s post-retirement contributions are highly significant, especially when the contributions are selfless in nature (i.e., voluntary contribution of time and effort beyond elements of the nominee’s post-retirement employment).
