The Peer Evaluation Program: Strengthening Junior Enlisted Marine Force Preservation with Peer Evaluations

Abstract

While the Force Preservation Council and Human Factors Council Programs are beneficial tools to leaders in identifying junior enlisted Marine personal issues, they have shortcomings. As Marine Corps senior leadership continues to stress the importance of taking care of junior enlisted Marines, shortfalls exist with current force preservation initiatives. Implementation of a Peer Evaluation Program effectively augments the service's force preservation inadequacies by incorporating bottom-up, peer feedback on areas to include: socializing, alcohol consumption, social media use, spending habits, relationships, and health and lifestyle. The Peer Evaluation Program identifies and aligns at-risk Marines with assistance resources sooner, benefiting the individual Marine and Marine Corps.
