The Army Officer Evaluation Reporting (OER) System was introduced as a way of identifying and rewarding talent in skilled and promising officers within the United States Army. The rating chain consists of the rated officer and several raters tasked with assessing the officer’s performance. The rating is conducted via three DA 67-9 Forms supplied by the U.S. Department of the Army (DA).
The rated officers' responsibilities include performing each and every assigned duty, discussing performance objectives with their raters during the course of the evaluation, and recording their duties, objectives, and contributions on DA Form 67-9-1 and DA Form 67-9-1A at the end of the evaluation period. The rater in charge of the evaluation has to counsel the rated officer throughout the evaluation period, provide the required paperwork, discuss the scope of duties and record the rated officer’s performance and potential for growth on DA Form 67-9.

In April 2014, the U.S. Army changed their officer evaluation reporting forms to a new format switching from the still active DA Form 67-9 Series to the DA Form 67-10 Series. The DA 67-10 Series includes several forms divided into grade plates or groups of grades. These include Company Grade Officers (2LT-CPT & WO1-CW2), Field Grade Officers (MAJ-LTC & CW3-CW5), and Strategic Level Officers, separated into COL and GO reports.

This form was first adopted in 1997 for officer evaluation. It is still used to rate officers' competence, physical and mental condition, leadership abilities and their potential for promotion.
Use this document along with the DA Form 67-9, Officer Evaluation Report, during the process of officer evaluation.
This form is an optional part of the process of preparing an Officer Evaluation Report (OER).
