How many different types of NCOERs are there and what are they?

• A. 7 types: Annual; Change of Rater; Relief for Cause; Complete the Record; 60-day Rater Option; 60-day Senior Rater Option; Temporary Duty, Special Duty, or Compassionate Reassignment
• B. 6 types: Annual; Change of Rater; Relief for Cause; Complete the Record; 60-day Rater Option; 60-day Senior Rater Option
• C. 7 types: Annual; Change of Rater; Relief for Cause; Complete the Record; 60-day Rater Option
• D. 8 types: Annual; Change of Rater; Relief for Cause; Complete the Record; 60-day Rater Option; 60-day Senior Rater Option; Temporary Duty; Compassionate Reassignment; Special Duty

Answer: (A)

The number and naming of NCOER types are defined so each report fits a specific personnel situation. There are seven distinct types of NCOERs. The standard ones are the Annual evaluation, Change of Rater, Relief for Cause, Complete the Record, and the 60-day Rater Option plus the 60-day Senior Rater Option. The seventh type covers scenarios such as Temporary Duty, Special Duty, or Compassionate Reassignment, which trigger a different kind of report to accommodate those temporary or special assignments. That last category is why the total is seven, not six or eight. Options that claim six types miss one category, while those that claim eight types split a situation (like Temporary Duty and Special Duty) into separate types, which isn’t how the system is organized.
