DA Form 1059 and DA Form 1059–2 are used, as applicable, to report the performance of students attending Army schools, DoD schools, USAR and ARNG schools, NCO academies, allied nation schools, and Reserve Component (RC) chaplain candidates for inactive duty training (IDT), as well as formal schooling as prescribed below.
All of these are considered Service schools.
a.
For resident students in courses greater than two weeks, the time period covered by a DA Form 1059 and DA Form 1059–2 producing schools 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 will receive an AER assessment for the nonresident course as the same period of time of an OER or NCOER.
In these 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.
DA Pam 623–3 contains DA Form 1059 and DA Form 1059–2 preparation and processing instructions.
DA Form 1059 and DA Form 1059–2 will be forwarded to the proper headquarters in accordance with appendix F and will be posted in the rated Soldier’s AMHRR.
b.
The CG, TRADOC; the Commander, AMEDD Center and School; TJAG; and the Chief of Chaplains determine course structure and which Service schools or courses will provide DA Form 1059 and DA Form 1059–2 to students.
This is particularly true for multi-phased courses.
