Whether you are an ink-signed NCOER or an AER, you must ensure that the evaluation you submit to HQDA includes the full SSN of the person you are evaluating. This provides credibility during the evaluation process and enables you to confirm that the rated Soldier has received the evaluation report. Ink-signed OERs/NCOERs/AERs must include the … Read more

The U.S. Army’s Evaluation Entry System, commonly called EES, has been used to prepare, route and review NCOERs. Soldiers may still need it when looking for an older evaluation that does not appear in a current dashboard or in their personnel file.
Archived reports can be confusing because the legacy record may be view-only, held under an older duty position, or available through a separate document system. The EES Army guide provides general background, but it is not an official Army portal and cannot restore a missing record.
For readers in Australia, access may happen from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne or Perth while coordinating with U.S. Army offices in another time zone. A help desk that is available during a U.S. workday may respond during the Australian evening or early morning, so timing and account support can affect the process.
A stable CAC reader, compatible browser and reliable Defence or home internet connection are useful starting points. Keep your details ready, allow extra time around Australian public holidays, and do not assume that “no worries” means the record is permanently gone.
A legacy NCOER is an evaluation created, signed or stored under an earlier EES workflow. It may relate to a previous rank, unit, rater, senior rater or reporting period. The report can remain visible even when the soldier has moved to another command or when newer evaluations are handled through different personnel systems.
The archived item is usually a historical record rather than an editable form. It may display signatures, comments, administrative information and status details, but options to change routing or correct content may be unavailable. For general background on keeping older material organised, an additional reading resource can be separate from the official record systems.
Use a government-approved computer where possible and connect the CAC reader before opening the EES login page. Insert the correct certificate when prompted. If several certificates appear, the authentication certificate is generally used for access, while the signing certificate may be requested for approval actions.
Before beginning, confirm that your browser, middleware and certificates are functioning. Save files only in an approved location and avoid sending evaluation reports through personal email or unsecured messaging services.
After authentication, look for a menu labelled something like evaluation history, completed evaluations, archived reports or NCOER search. Labels can vary as Army systems are updated, so the exact screen may not match older instructions. Search by reporting period, rank, unit or evaluation type rather than relying on a single date.
Open older reporting periods one at a time. An NCOER may be filed under the period ending date, the date it was completed, or the assignment connected with the report. If the system shows a list of evaluations, compare the report period and rated soldier information before opening a document.
Select the record and allow the report to load fully before using the print or download function. Check that all pages are present, including the administrative section, duty description, performance sections, senior rater information and signatures. A partial browser preview should not be treated as the complete record.
Read the status carefully. “Completed,” “signed” or “filed” generally indicates a finalised evaluation, while “draft,” “returned” or “in progress” may point to an unfinished workflow. If the report opens but cannot be edited, that is usually expected for an archived evaluation.
A missing NCOER does not always mean it was deleted. The evaluation may have been filed under a different spelling, reporting period, unit identifier or personnel record. It may also have been transferred to iPERMS, especially if it is an older completed report.
Try a narrower search first, then broaden the date range. Confirm that you are viewing the correct soldier profile and that the account has the right permissions. If EES will not authenticate, review this login troubleshooting guide before repeatedly retrying the sign-in process.
iPERMS is often the stronger place to verify whether a final NCOER has been filed in the official personnel record. EES may show the workflow history, while iPERMS may hold the document used for long-term recordkeeping. Compare the report period, signatures and page count in both systems.
If an NCOER appears in EES but not in iPERMS, contact the appropriate S1, administrative office or records manager. Provide the evaluation period and a clear description of the discrepancy rather than uploading duplicate versions without instruction. General web material, including a general web resource, should never replace the official Army copy.
When permitted, download the complete PDF and use a descriptive filename such as the reporting period, rank and document type. Avoid altering the file after download. If the system only offers printing, use an approved PDF printer or secure physical copy process according to local policy.
Record where the file came from, when it was accessed and whether it was marked final. This audit note can help if a promotion packet, board file or administrative correction later requires proof of the document’s source.
Technical problems belong with the relevant help desk, while missing or inaccurate evaluations usually require the chain of command, S1, servicing administrative office or official records channel. Explain whether the issue is access, display, filing or content correction; each problem may have a different resolution path.
For personnel stationed in Australia, include your local time zone and a reachable contact method when requesting assistance. A Perth-based soldier may be several hours apart from someone in Sydney, and both may be working outside the U.S. office window. Keeping the request concise and attaching only approved evidence helps the record custodian respond efficiently.
