b. Retiree Recalls: IAW AR 623-3, para 3-33, retired officers, warrant officers, and NCOs recalled to active duty are not eligible for evaluation reports. Retiree Recalls will be counseled on the requirements and performance standards of the position to which they are assigned. OER/NCOER support forms may be used to accomplish this counseling. c. Completed Evaluations: (1) The most efficient method for preparing and submitting OERs and NCOERs to HQDA/HRC is to use the electronic forms application in AKO Forms at https://myforms.ecms.army.mil. The AKO Forms application contains the current version evaluation report forms, including the most upto-date capabilities and built-in Wizard rules. (2) Use the AKO Forms Wizard with drop-down menus and questions to prepare evaluation report forms. Avoid preparing forms in the “VIEW FORM” window as the electronic Wizard is unable to fully detect what was entered on the evaluation report form, some of the electronic box checks and other electronic features will be overlooked (e.g., functional category recommendations for CPTs and 1LT[P]s) and subsequent electronic related problems could occur. Be careful not to enter “space bar entries” in the intermediate rater’s section (if no intermediate rater) as the Wizard may ask for an electronic signature if it detects any space entry in the intermediate rater’s portion and this will preclude electronic submission to HQDA/HRC. (3) All units including units deployed to the contingency theater of operations (e.g., Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, or the Sinai) through the redeployment/reconstitution phase (not to exceed 90 days) must follow MILPER Message 09-144, AHRC-PDV-E, 1 July 2009, subject: Reiteration of Evaluation Submission Procedures and MILPER Message 10-088, AHRC-PDV-E, 22 March 2010, subject: Evaluation Report Submission Procedures During July 2010, to submit completed evaluation reports to HQDA/HRC and any subsequent policy or procedural guidance published by HQDA/HRC. (4) Submit electronically-completed evaluations with digital signatures to HQDA/HRC using AKO Forms. Electronic submission using AKO Forms is available for OERs (all components) and NCOERs (AC and RC only). NG NCOERs are submitted to the State Enlisted Personnel Management Office. (5) Units deployed in a contingency theater of operations through the redeployment/reconstitution phase (not to exceed 90 days), where AKO Forms and/or access to digital signatures is not available may email completed OERs/NCOERs to HQDA/HRC. If applicable, email digitally-signed OER or NCOER (and AER, if available) as (.xfdl) email attachments or scanned .tif or .pdf images of evaluation reports with manual or digital signatures as a two-page/double-sided document to the following HQDA/HRC email address: tapcmseSR@conus.army.mil. (6) Deployed units not in a contingency theater of operations will mail paper copies of evaluation reports that are unable to be submitted using AKO Forms to USAHRC, ATTN: AHRC-PDVER, 1600 Spearhead Division Avenue, Dept. #470, Fort Knox, KY 40122-5407. (7) Submit evaluation report-related questions to the USAHRC Evaluations Systems and Policy Office via e-mail at tapcmse@conus.army.mil. Questions regarding USAR evaluation reports may also be submitted via email to Mr. Ernie Bibeau at: ernie.bibeau@usar.army.mil or ernie.bibeau@us.army.mil or by calling (404) 464-8917 (DSN: 367). 13–5.
