If an intermediate rater exists in the rating chain, they will receive a copy of the rated officer’s DA Form 67 –10–1A with the rated officer’s goals and objectives at the beginning of the rating period and a completed DA Form 67–10–1A, which includes the rated officer’s contributions, at the end of the rating period.
a.
The intermediate rater will—
(1)
Review the rated officer’s final DA Form 67–10–1A when preparing the OER.
The narrative in the OER, part V, may be based on the rated officer’s final DA Form 67–10–1A.
(2)
Complete the OER, part V (see DA Pam 623–3 for procedural guidance).
This is the only part completed by the intermediate rater and will be an assessment of the officer’s performance and potential during the rating period.
(a)
Performance evaluations are assessments on how well the rated officer met duty requirements and adhered to the professional standards of the Officer Corps.
Performance is evaluated by considering the results achieved, how they were achieved, and how well the officer complied with professional standards.
(b)
Potential evaluations are performance-based assessments of the rated officer’s ability, compared to that of their contemporaries.
Assessment of potential applies to all officers, regardless of their opportunity to be selected for higher positions or grades.
It does not take into account such factors as impending release from active duty or retirement; this assessment is continually changing and is reserved for HQDA.
(3)
Forward both the final DA Form 67–10–1A and OER to the senior rater.
b.
Refer to specific requirements for officers under dual supervision (see para 2–21), chaplains (see app C), and JAGC officers, if applicable (see app D).
