This paragraph does not apply to DA Form 2166–9 series (NCOER) or DA Form 1059 series (AER).
a.
Officers are considered to be serving under dual supervision when they are supervised by, and assigned different duties by, two separate chains of command or supervision throughout the entire rating period.
(For example, a unit commander responsible to the unit chain of command for unit matters and to the senior mission commander for installation matters.)
Support unit commanders whose primary mission is to support another unit are generally not serving under dual supervision since they are assigned the support mission and supervised in its execution by their parent units.
b.
Both chains of commands or supervision will be represented in the rating chain.
This can be accomplished by dividing the rating chain positions between the two supervisory chains (preferred method).
For example, the rater might be selected from the nonparent unit and the senior rater from the parent unit.
Alternatively, the rater and senior rater might be selected from the parent unit and the intermediate rater selected from the nonparent unit.
Important considerations in establishing the rating chain are the significance of the duties supervised by each chain of command and the seniority of the respective supervisors.
Rating officials must meet the minimum time requirements in order to render an evaluation on the rated officer.
c.
When it is not practical to designate a nonparent unit supervisor as rater, intermediate rater, or senior rater, this supervisor may submit written comments concerning the rated officer’s duty performance to the designated rater for their use in developing the rater’s evaluation.
These comments will address that portion of the rated officer’s duties directed by this supervisor.
Nonparent unit supervisors will enter an evaluation on OERs only if they are a designated member of the published rating chain for a minimum of 60 calendar days prior to the “Thru” date of the OER.
For USAR TPU, DIMA, and drilling IRR Soldiers and ARNG Soldiers, the minimum OER rating requirement is 90 calendar days (see apps G and H).
d.
The published rating chain will contain the notation “dual supervision” next to the rated officer’s name.
e.
The duty description on OER support forms and OERs will annotate and identify dual supervision.
The statement, “Officer serving under dual supervision” will be entered as the first line of the duty description.
f.
See appendixes C (for chaplains), D (for JAGC officers), and E (for AMEDD officers), as applicable.
