    (a) Authority of Secretary of the Navy.--The Secretary of the Navy 
may by regulation implement section 14305 of this title by requiring 
that the promotion zone for consideration of officers on the reserve 
active-status list of the Navy or the Marine Corps for promotion to the 
next higher grade be determined in accordance with a running mate system 
as provided in subsection (b).
    (b) Assignment of Running Mates.--An officer to whom a running mate 
system applies shall be assigned as a running mate an officer of the 
same grade on the active-duty list of the same armed force. The officer 
on the reserve active-status list is in the promotion zone and is 
eligible for consideration for promotion to the next higher grade by a 
selection board convened under section 14101(a) of this title when that 
officer's running mate is in or above the promotion zone established for 
that officer's grade under chapter 36 of this title.
    (c) Consideration of Officers Below the Zone Under a Running Mate 
System.--If the Secretary of the Navy authorizes the selection of 
officers for promotion from below the promotion zone in accordance with 
section 14307 of this title, the number of officers to be considered 
from below the zone may be established through the application of the 
running mate system or otherwise as the Secretary determines to be 
appropriate to meet the needs of the Navy or Marine Corps.
