Q

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?

A
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
    Thus, a leader’s potential is partially determined by how they compare with their peers.
  4. 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
