Why the new tiers? In part, they offer opportunity for promotion that was lacking in the large payband, thus providing "a clear framework for career progression," according to Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. Ellen Krenke.
In the Air Force, they're also being used to pull rank, so to speak, with military counterparts. The tier system gives SES members visiting military installations "the same customs and courtesies afforded general officers in the equivalent grade," Krenke says.
