When is a special Enlisted Evaluation Report (EER) required?

A special Enlisted Evaluation Report (EER) is required when non-judicial punishment (NJP) is administered. This procedure ensures that the service member's performance is accurately reflected in their evaluation record following disciplinary action. NJP involves situations where a service member faces minor disciplinary infractions, and the EER documents any significant changes in their conduct or performance as a direct result of the NJP.

In the context of the other options, annual reviews and voluntary separation generally involve routine evaluations that are already accounted for within regular reporting schedules. Promotion eligibility evaluations are typically scheduled to coincide with established promotion cycles and do not necessitate a special report unless accompanied by disciplinary actions such as NJP. Therefore, the requirement for a special EER in the case of NJP helps account for any changes in performance or behavior following disciplinary measures.
