How many copies should be made for an E7-E9 evaluation?

In the context of evaluations for personnel at the E7-E9 levels, it is standard practice to submit the original evaluation along with four additional copies. This results in a total of five documents. The original is typically retained for the official personnel file, while the copies serve various purposes, including distribution to the member, the command, and other relevant parties involved in the evaluation process. This practice ensures that all stakeholders have access to the evaluation for reference and review. Maintaining a structured system for evaluations is critical in the military for accountability and transparency in personnel assessments.
