What is the total number of copies a member's command should make for an E7-E9 evaluation?

For an E7-E9 evaluation, the correct practice is to produce the original evaluation along with four additional copies. This totals to five copies, which are typically required for distribution to the member's personnel record and other relevant stakeholders within the command and the broader Navy evaluation system.

Having multiple copies ensures that all necessary parties have access to the evaluation for review and processing, which is essential for performance assessments, career progression considerations, and record-keeping. The extra copies provide the appropriate channels within the chain of command with the information needed to evaluate a member's performance and qualifications fairly and comprehensively.
