Army Human Resources Command will be training a new swath of soldiers in April and will send them out to implement a new non-commissioned officer evaluation report this fall. Maj. Gen. Richard P. Mustion said this is the first reboot of the NCO rating system in more than 20 years.
"The changes to the evaluation system will enable leaders to more clearly assess and identify the Army’s best talent by eliminating inflation in the rating process and encouraging self-improvement," Mustion says, according to the report. The initiative is aimed at developing "adaptive" leaders for a "complex" world.
Reportedly, NCOs will move away from a single report form to "a trio of reports" based on rank and accountability in the rating chain in addition to other changes.
