Supplementary reviewer (DA Form 67–10 series and DA Form 2166–9 series)
The supplementary reviewer has the overarching role of ensuring compliance with the evaluation reporting process, policy guidance of this regulation and procedural guidance in DA Pam 623–3, the accuracy of the completed report, and ensuring rating officials provide clear, concise, and effective written communication focused on the rated Soldier’s career and professional development which allows effective decision making by HQDA.
For both OERs and NCO- ERs, the review is normally an inherent responsibility of the senior rater.
Instances exist for when supplementary reviews will be performed.
a. For OERs
A documented supplementary review will be performed by a uniformed Army advisor designated in the officer’s rating chain who is senior to the rated officer and normally senior to the senior rater within the organization—
(1)
When there are no uniformed Army designated rating officials for the rated officer.
(2)
For “Relief for Cause” reports when the senior rater is the individual directing the relief.
(3)
For “Relief for Cause” reports directed by an individual other than the rating officials.
b. For NCOERs
In instances when a rated NCO’s rating chain includes a SGM/CSM, CW3 through CW5, or an Army officer in the rank of CPT or above as the senior rater, the senior rater will conduct the final rating chain review.
c.
A documented supplementary review will be performed by a uniformed Army advisor in the rank of SGM/CSM, CW3 through CW5, or CPT and above designated in the NCO’s rating chain, senior to the senior rater—
(1)
When a senior rater within the rated NCO’s rating chain is an NCO in the rank of SFC through MSG/1SG.

When a senior rater within the rated NCO’s rating chain is a warrant officer in the rank of WO1 through CW2.
