What does the Evaluation Reporting System (ERS) identify?
The ERS identifies officers and non-commissioned officers who are best qualified for promotion and assignments to positions of higher responsibility.
ERS also identifies Soldiers who should be kept on active duty, those who should be retained in grade, and those who should be eliminated.
Under the ERS a Soldier is evaluated on performance and potential. In this system, what three kind of evaluations ar given?
- Duty evaluations. Either the DA Form 67–9 or DA Form 2166–8 is used for these evaluations.
- School evaluations. Either the DA Form 1059 and DA Form 1059–1 is used for these evaluations.
- DA evaluations. Selection boards and personnel management systems are used for these evaluations. Duty and school evaluations are single time-and-place evaluations and are used to make DA evaluations. DA evaluations cover the entire career of an officer and non-commissioned officer.
DA evaluations focus on an individual Soldier’s potential. They are judgments on their ability to perform at current and higher grades, and they are also made to judge whether an officer or NCO should be retained and given greater responsibility in their present grade. In making DA evaluations, what three factors are considered?
- Army requirements for leaders: officers and non-commissioned officers frequently change. At times, the Army has a need for leaders with certain backgrounds, experience, and expertise. The size of the Army leader corps by law in terms of strength by grade. Army needs limit the number of selections and assignments that can be made. Thus, a leader’s potential is partially determined by how they compare with their peers.
- Duty performance. Performance of duty is an extremely important factor in determining a leader’s potential. Duty performance is judged by how well a Soldier performs their assigned tasks and how well they meet Army professional values uniquely established for each respective corps.
- Leader qualifications. It must be considered in order to meet Army needs for outstanding leaders of troop or technical units, supporting staff managers, and technical specialists. One consideration in determining qualifications is the different skills and backgrounds required by different specialties. Another consideration is a Soldier’s individual progress through specialist fields to positions of greater responsibility. In addition, their length of service, civil schooling, military schooling, or other unique skills required by the Army are considered.
