The COER is located in the blue section of the eOPF. ALL officers (regardless of date of entry onto active duty) who are eligible for competitive promotion are required to have either an Annual or a manual interim COER in the eOPF. The manual Interim or Narrative COER may be completed if called to duty after July 1 of the current COER year so the Promotion Boards will have a means of assessing recent performance. All officers on duty prior to July 1 of the current COER year must have a Detailed Annual COER in their eOPF (Note: A manual Interim or Narrative COER will NOT be accepted if an Annual COER is required). To complete a manual Interim or Narrative COER, go to the CCMIS Web site, select “Services,” then "Official Forms," and scroll down to “Performance.” Print out and complete form PHS-838, Attachment I and Attachment II. All manual COERs (such as the Interim COER) must be processed through the HHS OPDIV/STAFFDIV or non-HHS organization channels, Commissioned Corps Liaisons, and be received in OCCO no later than the deadline on the Promotion checklist (go to checklist) to ensure availability for the Promotion Boards. They will NOT be accepted directly from officers or through the eOPF fax numbers.

Officers are encouraged to access their latest COER in the eOPF and review each page to ensure that the document has been satisfactorily archived. Officers should also ensure the last 5 years (as applicable) of COERs are on file in their eOPF. Missing COERs within the last 5 years may result in adverse actions. Failure to have all the required annual COERs on file will result in removal from the promotion pool at the end of the boards.
