Common Sense Solutions to Streamlining the Marine Corps Performance Evaluation System

Abstract

The fitness report is a means by which reporting officials evaluate a Marine's performance. This evaluation is primarily used by selection boards to promote the best qualified Marines to the ranks of staff sergeant through major general, and to select Marines for resident schooling, slating for command, and other duty assignments. This paper will advocate that in order to meet the Commandants intent to select the best qualified personnel for promotion, augmentation, retention, resident schooling, command, and duty assignments, the Marine Corps must modify the Performance Evaluation System (PES). Removing redundancies in the fitness report, along with implementing critical structural changes, will assist reporting officials to more accurately, justly, and comprehensively evaluate Marines.
