A plus sign on a character's portrait means they qualify for a field 
promotion. Use the 'radio' button in the top right corner of the screen 
and radio in an 'update'.
You can go directly to the character's screen and allocate the points, 
but I think that does not exactly do the same things. I think you get 
extra skill points or experience points when you radio in for a 
promotion. Not 100$ certain on this but that is what it looked like to 
me on one occasion.
