Maybe the thought is that unsatisfactorily junior NCOs and enlisted can simply be encouraged not to re-up (or their re-enlistment can be denied), but a dirtbag senior NCO is harder to get rid of. (Hard enough to require a special program?)

I don't know, it strikes me as odd too, that's just a guess at the intended logic.

It does indeed. Weed out the expensive higher grades. The junior folks may still be recoverable, and if not, don't cost as much anyway.
