8.12.2. The Order of the Sword Induction Ceremony.
Induction into the Order of the Sword is an honor reserved for people who have provided outstanding leadership and support to enlisted people. The induction ceremony occurs at a formal evening banquet held to honor the inductee as a “Leader among Leaders and an Airman among Airmen.” The entire event is conducted with the dignity that reflects its significance as the highest recognition enlisted people can bestow on anyone. Each command has an Order of the Sword and develops its own selection and induction procedures.
This paragraph omits the fact that the Order of the Sword has always been and is only for officers, usually Generals, with no input from rank and file enlisted members. See Wikipedia list of Order of the Sword recipients and AFI 36-2824, Order of the Sword Programs.
