The provisions of this paragraph do not apply to NCOERs or AERs. An intermediate rater is only authorized for use by specialty branches (Chaplain Corps, JAGC, and AMEDD) when there is a level of technical supervision between the rater and senior rater, and/or in dual supervisory situations, and/or in unique instances when the rater’s immediate supervisor would be the logical senior rater, but does not meet senior rater eligibility requirements as prescribed within table 2–1. For exceptions, see paragraph 2–6.
