Army Rules on Court-Martial Duty, Counsel Representation, and EO Officer Evaluations

3–30. Performance as a member of a court-martial or selection board

Duty as a member of a court-martial or an HQDA-convened selection board will not be considered in preparing an evaluation report.

3–31. Performance as counsel

No rating official will give an unfavorable rating or comment regarding a rated Soldier because they zealously represented (as counsel) any accused or respondent before court-martial or administrative board proceedings.

3–32. Performance as an equal opportunity official

A Soldier serving as an EO officer, either as a principal or additional duty, will not be given an unfavorable rating if it is based solely on the following:

a.

The level of enthusiasm and zeal for implementing the Army’s EO Program.

b.

In retaliation for criticism of command policies and practices related to that program.
