What document should an NCO receive from their rater and senior rater immediately?

The correct response is the NCOER Support form (DA Form 2166-9-1A). This document is essential for Non-Commissioned Officers because it serves as a foundation for performance evaluations. Upon assuming their new roles, NCOs are required to receive this form from their raters and senior raters to outline the expectations for their performance during the rating period. It provides clarity on the roles and responsibilities that need to be met, enabling NCOs to understand what specific objectives they should focus on achieving.

Receiving the NCOER Support form immediately ensures that both the rater and the NCO are aligned on performance standards from the outset, fostering a clear communication pathway related to goals and evaluation processes. This alignment is crucial for effective performance management and career progression.
