How to Generate a DA Form 67-10-1 in EES

The U.S. Army Evaluation Entry System (EES) provides a digital workflow for preparing Officer Evaluation Reports. When the evaluation is complete, the system can produce the DA Form 67-10-1, the official form used for an OER.

Generating the form is more than clicking an export option. Accurate rating-chain information, correct evaluation dates, complete counseling data, and carefully reviewed comments all affect the final document. A mistake entered early can carry through the entire OER process.

EES menus and labels may change as Army systems are updated, so the exact screen sequence can vary. The basic workflow remains consistent: access EES, open or create the evaluation, enter the required information, route it through the rating chain, and produce the completed OER for signature and filing.

Access EES And Open The Evaluation

Begin by signing in through the approved Army access method. CAC authentication and an authorized workstation or browser may be required. If you need a general walkthrough before starting, review this guide to login to EES, then confirm that your account has access to the appropriate evaluation functions.

After entering the system, locate the evaluation workspace or dashboard. Depending on your role, you may see evaluations awaiting action, drafts already assigned to you, or options to create a new report. Select the relevant OER and verify that the rated officer, unit, evaluation type, and status match the report you intend to complete.

If the evaluation does not appear, do not create a duplicate immediately. The report may still be assigned to another user, waiting for an administrative action, or associated with an incorrect rating chain. Contact the unit administrator or servicing personnel office when access or assignment information is unclear.

Confirm Report And Rating-Chain Data

The DA Form 67-10-1 includes identifying information that should agree with official personnel records. Check the officer’s name, rank, branch, organization, duty title, duty description, and evaluation period. Pay special attention to the beginning and ending dates because an incorrect period can affect the report’s validity.

Review every member of the rating chain before entering narrative comments. EES may identify the rater, senior rater, and supplementary reviewer based on stored personnel data, but the system’s information still requires verification. The rating chain must reflect the officer’s actual supervisory relationships during the rated period.

Counseling dates and duty-status information should also be checked. If the officer changed positions, organizations, or rating officials during the period, follow the applicable Army guidance for documenting those changes. Administrative corrections are easier before signatures are collected.

Enter Performance And Potential Information

The OER narrative should describe observed performance, results, leadership, character, and potential in specific terms. Avoid copying generic phrases that could apply to any officer. Strong comments explain what the officer did, the effect on the organization, and why the performance matters.

Enter information in the appropriate sections rather than placing every detail in a single block. Performance sections generally address duties, responsibilities, accomplishments, and attributes, while potential assessments should support the senior rater’s evaluation. Comments must remain professional, factually supportable, and consistent with the officer’s duty position.

The rater and senior rater assessments should align with the report’s narrative and the officer’s documented contribution. EES may display required fields, validation warnings, or character limits as you work. Save frequently, and read the complete report in its generated format rather than relying only on individual data-entry screens.

Review Area	What To Verify	Common Problem
Rated officer	Name, rank, branch, and organization	Old rank or incomplete unit data
Evaluation period	Start and end dates	Dates that do not match the assigned report
Rating chain	Rater, senior rater, and reviewer	Incorrect or outdated duty relationship
Duty information	Position, responsibilities, and description	Generic duties that do not reflect the assignment
Narrative comments	Results, leadership, and potential	Vague, repetitive, or unsupported language
Signatures and status	Required actions and routing order	Report generated before all approvals

Validate The Draft Before Generating

Use EES validation tools, if available, to identify missing fields or formatting problems. A report may appear complete while still containing an empty required field, inconsistent date, or rating-chain discrepancy. Resolve warnings before moving the OER forward.

A practical review should include the following:

• Compare personal and organizational data with current official records.
• Confirm that the duty description reflects the rated officer’s actual responsibilities.
• Check spelling, rank abbreviations, dates, punctuation, and capitalization.
• Make sure comments support the performance and potential assessments.
• Verify that required counseling and signature actions are complete.

The final review should include the officer and appropriate rating officials when procedures permit. EES is an administrative system, not a substitute for leadership review or Army evaluation policy. If a substantive correction is needed, make it through the authorized workflow rather than altering a downloaded copy outside the system.

Generate And Save The DA Form 67-10-1

Once the data and approvals are complete, use the available option labeled something like “Generate,” “View,” “Print,” or “Create PDF.” The exact button name can differ by EES release and user role. Select the completed OER, not an earlier draft, and allow the system time to prepare the document.

Open the resulting DA Form 67-10-1 and inspect every page. Confirm that text is not cut off, fields are populated, signatures or authentication blocks appear correctly, and the report status reflects the intended stage. If the output is blank or incomplete, return to the evaluation record and check for unresolved validation issues.

Save the file using a clear, consistent naming convention permitted by your unit. Do not store sensitive personnel documents in an unsecured personal location or send them through an unauthorized service. Keep the EES record as the controlling source when the unit’s process requires electronic routing or approval.

Route, File, And Track The Completed OER

Generating a PDF does not always finish the administrative process. The report may still require electronic signatures, supplementary review, corrections, or submission through the unit’s designated records workflow. Follow the routing instructions associated with the evaluation and monitor its status until the record is accepted.

Once the OER is finalized, confirm where it must be filed and who is responsible for that action. Army personnel records may be managed through iPERMS and related official systems; this overview of the iPERMS website can help distinguish record-storage functions from the EES evaluation workflow.

Keep a copy only when authorized and necessary for personal or unit administration. If the completed report does not appear in the expected record system, first verify that it was approved and submitted correctly, then contact the appropriate S-1, human resources specialist, or records administrator.

Use EES carefully, review the generated form line by line, and complete every required routing step before treating the OER as final. Starting with accurate data and ending with verified filing gives the DA Form 67-10-1 the best chance of moving through the Army evaluation process without avoidable delays.
