Regular Air Force: strength in grade; temporary increases

§ 8212. Regular Air Force: strength in grade; temporary increases The authorized strength in any regular grade, as prescribed by or under this chapter, is automatically increased to the minimum extent necessary to give effect to each appointment made in that grade under section 1211 (a), 8298, 8299, 8304, or 9353 of this title. An authorized strength so increased is increased for no other purpose, and while he holds that grade the officer whose appointment caused the increase is counted tor the purpose of determining when other appointments, not under those sections, may be made in that grade.
