Evaluation reports will be forwarded error-free to reach HQDA no later than 90 days after the “Thru” date of the evaluation report.
The senior rater is responsible for ensuring the timely submission of OERs and NCOERs to HQDA; the reviewing official is responsible for the timely submission of AERs to HQDA.
However, HQDA centralized selection, promotion, and school board requirements may mandate receipt by a date that is earlier than 90 days after the “Thru” date of the evaluation report (see app F).
(1)
Commanders and senior raters may establish local procedures to ensure timely and accurate evaluation report submission to HQDA as outlined in DA Pam 623–3.
Failure to do so may result in evaluation reports not being processed to completion for filing in a Soldier’s AMHRR.
(2)
Evaluation reports for selection board consideration must be received at HQDA no later than the receipt date established in the MILPER message announcing the board.
The HQDA receipt of evaluation reports after the required receipt date, or past a suspense date directed by an HQDA selection board, will not be an automatic basis for appealing either the evaluation report or selection board results.
HQDA will process any valid evaluation report to prevent disservice to the rated Soldier.
Complete Record evaluation reports not received at HQDA in a timely manner will not be processed and will be returned.
The absence of a Complete Record evaluation report in the AMHRR at the time of the board’s review will not be the basis to request standby reconsideration, unless the absence is due to administrative error or delay in processing at HQDA.
