2LT Private RallyPoint Member 5561122 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I recently took over my new platoon. <br /><br />Situation: The unit in the Reserve component was disbanded and was assigned to a new command. The transfer did not change the rater ( an E7), but placed them under the newly assigned 2LT as their SRater. Most Soldiers in the unit had more than 4 month worth of rated time in the previous unit.<br />Question: Does this change of unit and SRater suffice for a Change of Rater eval?<br /><br />Thanks you for your responses. It will help a lot. 2020-02-15T03:39:27-05:00 2LT Private RallyPoint Member 5561122

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A Change of Rater is required when the Rater changes not the Senior Rater.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There is a senior rater option. Very few senior raters utilize it. It usually only occurs for especially good or especially bad NCOs in a particular circumstance. As long as the rater remains consistent, there are no issues.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The only time I&#39;ve ever seen a Change of Rater used in the National Guard is when a Soldier changes units after 90 days from their last annual NCOER (and sometimes not even then). If before 90 days, then the new unit will have adequate time to evaluate the Soldier and the old unit likely wouldn&#39;t have much to put on there anyways. I&#39;m not saying this is the right way, just my experience with it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No.<br />There is an Optional Report that can be done - a Senior Rater Option.<br />Unless duties changed significantly or the rated Soldiers promotion board is imminent, I rarely recommend that report be done.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not for change of senior rater. Just the actual direct rater.
