Under Navy regulations, who is responsible for managing fitness evaluations?

The responsibility for managing fitness evaluations in the Navy falls to the commanding officer. This role involves overseeing the entire evaluation process, ensuring that it aligns with Navy regulations and reflects the performance and potential of each Sailor within the command. The commanding officer plays a crucial role in ensuring that evaluations are conducted fairly, accurately, and on time, thereby maintaining a standard that upholds the integrity of the Navy's evaluation system.

While other entities have roles in oversight and support, such as providing medical evaluations or administrative assistance, it is ultimately the commanding officer who is held accountable for the evaluation process and the accuracy of the performance assessments within their command. This ensures that the evaluations are not only reflective of the individual Sailor's performance but also adhere to the overall goals and readiness of the Navy.
