A code 06, Depart TDY/SD/TCS OER or NCOER, will be submitted on a rated Soldier by the rating officials in the organization from which they depart on TDY, special duty (SD), or TCS to perform duties not related to their primary functions in the unit, and while on TDY, SD, or TCS, they serve under a different immediate supervisor for a period of 90 or more calendar days.
However, this evaluation is not required before departure on TDY for schooling (AER- producing school or otherwise; for example, a course issuing a certificate of training).
a.
In cases where it cannot be determined if such duty-related TDY, SD, or TCS will last for 90 days, a report may be submitted.
b.
In cases when known mandatory OERs or NCOERs (such as “Annual” and “Change of Rater”) will be due while Soldiers are attending schooling (AERs counting as nonrated time on an evaluation), this type of report may be submitted to alleviate the need for a mandatory report while at school.
Also, in these circumstances an “Extended Annual” report is an option (see para 3–43).
c.
An evaluation is not authorized when the rated officer or NCO on TDY, SD, or TCS is still responsible to or receiving guidance or instruction from the chain of command of the parent unit or assigned organization.
d.
A Soldier who is attached to an organization pending compassionate reassignment remains responsible to the parent unit and will not receive an evaluation from the attached organization.
A memorandum of input from the supervising officials of the attached organization to the Soldier’s rating officials is mandatory (see table 3–1).
