Which type of NCOER is related to a change of rater?

The type of NCOER that is directly related to a change of rater is the Change of Rater report. This specific NCO Evaluation Report is required when there is a change in the individual's immediate supervisor. The Change of Rater format is necessary to capture the performance and potential of a Non-Commissioned Officer during the period they were evaluated under a different rater.

This report is critical as it provides insight into how a soldier performs under the supervision of a new rater, which may highlight different skills, adaptability, and areas for growth based on the new perspectives of the incoming supervisor. The goal is to ensure a comprehensive evaluation that reflects the individual’s abilities and contributions during this transitional period.

In contrast, the other types of NCOERs serve different purposes: the 60 Day Rater Option is utilized when a rater has served for a minimum of 60 days but not the full evaluation period, the Relief for Cause is used when a soldier is removed from their position for performance or conduct issues, and Complete the Record is designed to provide a complete evaluation of a soldier whose tenure spans different raters and situations. Each type serves distinct circumstances but does not specifically address the situation resembling a straightforward change of rater.
