How to Check Your OER History in EES

Your Officer Evaluation Report history can help you track completed evaluations, identify missing documents, and prepare for future career decisions. The U.S. Army Evaluation Entry System, commonly called EES, is one place to review evaluation information and monitor the progress of reports connected to your record.

EES is designed for authorized Army users, so access usually requires a Common Access Card, an approved military network, and the correct account permissions. Menu names and available features can vary according to your rank, duty position, evaluation role, and the current status of a report.

This guide explains how to review your OER history in EES, distinguish completed reports from drafts, and follow up when an evaluation does not appear. EES Army provides general information for service members and is not an official Army government portal, so personnel should verify important record questions with their S-1, human resources specialist, or servicing administrative office.

Access EES With Your Authorized Account

Begin by opening the official EES access point from a government computer or an approved Army network. Insert your CAC, select the correct certificate when prompted, and complete the authentication process. If the system cannot validate your certificate, close the browser, reconnect to the network, and try again before contacting support.

After signing in, review the landing page carefully. Depending on your permissions, you may see links for evaluations you are responsible for, reports awaiting action, or records associated with your personal profile. A rating official may see a different dashboard from the rated officer, and a senior rater may have access to a different set of reports.

Find Your Evaluation Record

Look for a menu labeled something similar to “My Evaluations,” “My Reports,” “Evaluation History,” or “Completed Evaluations.” EES labels can change as the system is updated, so focus on the area that contains reports connected to your name or personnel identification information.

Use available filters to narrow the results by evaluation type, status, rating period, or date. If the page shows both OERs and other evaluation products, select Officer Evaluation Reports or the relevant officer evaluation category. Open each record individually to review its details rather than relying only on the summary list.

An OER entry may display the rated officer, organization, rating period, evaluation type, status, and dates associated with submission or approval. Review the spelling of your name, rank, unit, and rating period. Small discrepancies can create confusion when records are later used for assignments, boards, or personnel actions.

Understand What Each Status Means

The status shown in EES provides a general indication of where a report is in the evaluation workflow. A draft may still require action from a rater, senior rater, or supplementary reviewer. A submitted report may have moved forward but still be waiting for approval, corrections, or processing.

Status or Record Condition	What It Usually Indicates	Recommended Action
Draft or In Progress	The evaluation has not completed all required steps	Contact the responsible rating official
Submitted	The report was sent forward for processing	Monitor the record and retain supporting details
Returned or Rejected	The report needs correction or additional action	Read the remarks and coordinate with the appropriate office
Approved or Completed	The evaluation reached an accepted final stage	Download or retain a copy if available
Missing From History	The report may not have been entered, processed, or linked correctly	Contact the S-1 or servicing HR office

A completed entry does not always mean that every downstream personnel system has updated. Processing times can differ, particularly after a change of duty station, a transfer between components, or a correction to an evaluation. Keep copies of final documents and note the date you checked the system.

Compare EES With Your Official Records

EES is useful for tracking the evaluation workflow, but it should not be treated as the only location for your military records. Your official performance file may also include documents in iPERMS or other authorized Army personnel systems. If an OER appears in EES but not in your official record, ask your S-1 or records custodian which system requires action.

When reviewing a promotion packet, compare the OER history with your assignment timeline and known rating periods. Missing reports can affect the completeness of a board file. For related career planning, review this promotion points guide to understand how evaluation documentation may fit into broader advancement preparation.

Do not upload sensitive documents to personal email, unapproved cloud storage, or unofficial websites. Use approved Army channels when sending a copy of an OER or requesting a correction.

Resolve Missing Or Incorrect OERs

If a report is missing, first confirm that you searched the correct profile and used a broad date range. Check whether the evaluation was filed under a different report type, transferred with a component change, or listed under a status other than completed. Also verify that the report has passed the expected approval stage.

If the problem remains, gather the report date, unit information, rating chain, and any available transaction or submission details. Take screenshots only when permitted by your organization’s security rules. Then contact your unit S-1, administrative services office, or the designated evaluation specialist. They can determine whether the issue is a data-entry error, a processing delay, or a problem with the rating chain.

For questions about preparation, routing, and related evaluation actions, consult this NCOER process guide. Although NCOERs apply to noncommissioned officers, the administrative habits—checking dates, confirming signatures, and retaining final copies—are useful when managing OER records as well.

Prepare Your OER History For Career Use

Review your history before a permanent change of station, promotion board, command selection process, or major career counseling session. Confirm that each expected evaluation appears, that rating periods are logical, and that final documents are available in the appropriate official record system.

A clean record also makes it easier to discuss performance trends with a mentor or leader. If you are preparing for a command opportunity, this command selection board guide can provide additional context for organizing OER-related information and preparing supporting materials.

Practical Record-Checking Habits

A short, consistent review is safer than waiting until a board packet or personnel action is due. Keep a private record of report dates, status changes, follow-up contacts, and the location of final copies. Avoid altering official documents or relying on unofficial versions when submitting a packet.

Use these habits whenever you check your evaluation history:

• Review your OER record after each report is finalized.
• Compare EES entries with iPERMS and your local personnel file.
• Save approved copies only through authorized storage or recordkeeping channels.
• Report missing, duplicated, or incorrect evaluations promptly.
• Keep contact details for your S-1 or evaluation administrator.

Keep Your Evaluation Record Ready

Checking EES regularly can reveal missing reports while there is still time to correct them. It also gives you a clearer view of your rating history before important assignments, boards, and personnel reviews.

Sign in through an authorized Army connection, inspect each OER entry, document any discrepancy, and coordinate with your servicing administrative office when the record does not match your service history.
