Which Army Regulation covers counseling for NCOs?

• A. AR 600-20
• B. AR 350-1
• C. AR 40-501
• D. AR 623-3

Answer: (D)

Counseling for NCOs is addressed through the Evaluation Reporting System regulation. This regulation lays out how performance evaluations are conducted, who can provide feedback, and how that feedback is documented and used. In practice, NCOs receive counseling as part of the evaluation process to discuss duty performance, set development goals, clarify standards, and outline steps for improvement. This structured counseling ensures feedback is timely, specific, and tied to promotion potential and professional growth within the Army’s evaluation framework. Other regulations cover different areas—general command policy, training and leader development, or medical fitness—not the formal, evaluation-linked counseling process that AR 623-3 governs.
