a. Rater Profile report.
Tracks the rating history of each rater for officers of all components by rank (2LT through LTC) and warrant officers by rank (WO1 through CW5).
Raters do not maintain a profile on officers in the ranks of COL and above.
Retired officers recalled to active duty are not included in the profile population (see paras 3–2g and 3–33).
The information in the profile and other administrative information is available to the rater or rater’s designated representative using the Rater Profile report.
(1)
For officers in applicable ranks, the rater’s profile as reflected on the Rater Profile report will—
(a)
Emphasize the importance of the rater’s role and responsibility to provide credible information to HQDA.
This is one of the rater’s most critical actions.
It affects decisions regarding the Army’s future leadership and has great impact on how the Army accomplishes its missions.
(b)
Emphasize the importance of a rater’s sequencing of OER submissions.
Within a rater’s profile, HQDA will always process OERs daily in the order received, based on the date and time of receipt, regardless of the “Thru” date of the OER.
(c)
Provide information to HQDA selection boards and the Army leadership on the rater’s profile history as a means of disciplining the rating system.
For example, raters must maintain an “Excels” percentage of less than 50 percent for LTCs and below on company and field grade plate reports (see DA Pam 623–3).
(d)
Continue without interruption as the rater (in either a military or civilian status) moves from job to job.
(e)
Follow the rater as long as they are eligible to provide rater evaluations to Army officers in applicable grades.
(f)
Be authorized for placement (first page summary) in the rater’s AMHRR and may be updated annually or as necessary.
(2)
The first page of the Rater Profile report consists of three sections.
The top portion shows administrative data, the left side of the report shows current OER profile information (that is, profile information since the last restart), and the right side shows profile information that is cumulative, irrespective of any restart.
(3)
The second (and subsequent, if any) page of a Rater Profile report provides a chronological by-name and by-rank list of all officers rated by the rating official and the HQDA electronically generated label applied to their OERs.
(This listing allows raters the ability to check the system and track how and when their ratings are profiled at HQDA.)
Within a rater’s profile, HQDA will always process OERs in the order they are received.
(4)
For assistance in managing rater profiles and OER sequencing, raters are encouraged to use EES and the online Rater Profile report.
EES is designed to give visibility to raters and their designated representatives on the processing of OERs for the rater’s profile.
Users will need a common access card (CAC).
EES and Rater Profile report are accessible at https://evaluations.hrc.army.mil/index.html.
(5)
OERs received at HQDA containing an “Excels” rating for a particular grade not supported by the rater’s profile (that is, a report received causing the rater’s profile, for a particular grade, to be greater than the allowable percentage) will result in the OER receiving a “Proficient” HQDA label, with initial “Excels” rating counting against the rater’s “Excels” quantities of the rater’s profile.
Raters for LTCs and below on company and field grade plate reports are required to maintain a rater’s profile percentage of less than 50 percent for rendered OERs, separated by grade in order for the final completed OER to maintain the “Excels” HQDA label.
