Which position is required to submit a Supplementary reviewer on an NCOER?

The requirement to submit a supplementary reviewer on a Non-Commissioned Officer Evaluation Report (NCOER) is typically linked to the rank or position of the rated individual. When the rated Soldier is at the rank of Second Lieutenant (2LT) to First Lieutenant (1LT), it is essential to have a supplementary reviewer as part of the evaluation process. This is because evaluations at the officer rank often require additional oversight to ensure accuracy and provide a more comprehensive assessment of performance.

The role of a supplementary reviewer is to offer an additional layer of input on the evaluation, which is particularly important in cases where there may be limited direct supervision or experience evaluating those at the officer level. In contrast, once soldiers reach certain non-commissioned ranks, such as those mentioned in other choices, the need for a supplementary reviewer is less stringent or is governed by different regulations based on their rank and roles within the unit.
