Under what condition is a Performance Information Memorandum (PIM) submitted for performance evaluations?

A Performance Information Memorandum (PIM) is specifically used in the context of performance evaluations for periods where the evaluation period is less than 90 days. This allows for the documentation and recognition of a service member's performance over a shorter timeframe, which may not warrant a full evaluation but still needs to be captured for accuracy and completeness in their record. Submitting a PIM under these conditions ensures that individual contributions are appropriately acknowledged and included in performance assessments, particularly in situations where a member may have transitioned to a new position or been under a temporary assignment.

While other conditions regarding performance evaluations and personnel rankings do exist, the focus on periods shorter than 90 days directly ties to the PIM's purpose, making this the most suitable choice.
