A code 14, Initial OER, will be prepared for JAGC commissioned officers under specified circumstances following their completion of BOLC.

a.

Specified circumstances requiring a code 14, Initial OER, include officers who are—

(1)

Serving an initial tour of active duty in the Army (other than ADT or USAR or ARNG officers serving on statutory tours under 10 USC 175, 10 USC 3021, 10 USC 10211, 10 USC 12301, and 10 USC 12402).

(2)

Re-entering active duty after a break in service of at least 1 year.

(3)

Completing law school under TJAG’s FLEP (see AR 27–1 and app D).

b.

A code 14, Initial OER, will not be prepared for—

(1)

Any officer not included in paragraph 3–53a.

(2)

Any officer included in paragraph 3–53a who has already received an OER under some other provision of this regulation during their current tour of duty.

Other OERs due prior to completion of 120-day initial OERs take precedence over the initial tour OER.

In those cases, the 120-day initial OER will not be completed.

c.

The “From” date of the period covered by an initial OER will begin with the rated officer’s date of entry on current active duty or the “Thru” date of any previously received OER.

The rating period will begin when the rated officer arrives at their unit of assignment following BOLC.

The rating period will end upon the completion of 120 calendar days (excluding nonrated days) in the same principal duty assignment under the same rater (“Thru” date on OER).

Other rating official qualification and minimum time requirements apply for the 120-day initial time under the rater.

d.

The periods covered by DA Form 1059–1 for law school attendance and periods following successful graduation from law school before successfully completing a state bar examination and DA Form 1059 for attendance at BOLC, and time before the rated officer’s assignment to a unit, organization, or agency will be reflected as nonrated time on the initial OER (see paras 1–8, 3–34, 3 –40, 3–50, and 3–51).

1–8. Standards of service

a. Evaluation Reporting System overview.

(4)

Under the ERS, a Soldier is evaluated on their performance and potential.

The ERS consists of two categories of evaluation reports:

(a)

Mandatory and/or optional evaluations.

The applicable evaluation report forms are the DA Form 67–10 series (OER) and DA Form 2166–9 series (NCOER).

(b)

School evaluations.

The applicable evaluation report forms are DA Form 1059 and DA Form 1059–2 (for military institutions) or DA Form 1059–1 (for civilian institutions).

These evaluations focus exclusively on the Soldier’s performance and accomplishments while attending a school or course.

For resident students in courses greater than two weeks, the time period covered by a DA Form 1059 or DA Form 1059–2 producing school will be counted as nonrated time on the OER or NCOER that covers the same period.

Some instances exist for Soldiers enrolled in nonresident courses who may receive an AER assessment for the nonresident course as the same period of time of an OER or NCOER.

In these nonresident course instances, the AER assessment period will not be counted as nonrated time for any due OER or NCOER.

Comments pertaining to academic performance during the nonresident course will only be used on the DA Form 1059 or DA Form 1059–2 and will not be included in OERs or NCOERs.

3–34. Preparation and submission requirements

This paragraph provides preparation and submission requirements for evaluation reports, including rated and nonrated time requirements, submission timelines, and evaluation processing guidance.

3–40. Basic rules

Reports will be prepared on the occasions outlined in this section.

Specific time requirements, if any, are listed with each condition causing a report to be written.

Authentication by all rating officials is mandatory.

3–50. Service school academic evaluation reports (DA Form 1059 and DA Form 1059–2)

3–51. DA Form 1059–1
