The fundamental concepts of the PES are accuracy, accountability, simplicity, consistency of policy, and evaluation methods. Achieving these concepts requires standardization of the evaluation chain, supervision throughout the system, and the education of all participants in the system.

    Automated Performance Evaluation System The automated performance evaluation system (A-PES) is an electronic means of creating and submitting fitness reports through the appropriate chain of command ar.d on to Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps (HQMC). The A-PES system can be accessed in the resources tab via the Marine Online (MOL) website or directly using rhe below links. MOL: https:7inoLtf5.usmc.mil/inDl A-PES: https://a-pes.mmrp.usmc.miL' , a-pe5. ,, apes.jsp When there is a loss of access ro the A-PES system, a fillable form fitness report (NAVMC 10835) can be downloaded from the Performance Evaluation Section (MMRP-30) website at the below link Select the "PES PDF FitRep" link for the fillable form. MMRP-30 is part of the Records and Performance Branch (MMRP) in the Manpower Management Division of Manpower and Reserve Affairs. https://www.manpcwer.usmc.mil/webcerner/content/conn/WebCenterSpaces- ucm'path , Encerprise%20LibrariesMMRP30/Fillable%20FITREP.PDF Objectives of the Performance Evaluation System Reporting officials report the credible and accurate recording of the history of an individual's performance to members of a promotion or special selection board. The PES must accomplish the following objectives: • Accurate Fitness Reports. The evaluation must: o Reflect an assessment of performance of assigned duties and responsibilities against an understood set of requirements, individual capacity; and professional character. o Focus on observed individual performance during a designated period. o Report fact and the reporting official's objective judgments based on Marine Corps standards, nor conjecture. o Ensure narrative portions of the evaluation are clear in their meaning and free of ambiguities and innuendoes. • Preventing Inflation. Countering inflation begins with the reporting officials, specifically the reporting senior (RS) and reviewing officer (RO), who must accurately report a Marine's performance. o The design intent of the fitness report is co limit the ability of RSs to unjustifiably inflate a Marines performance. o Reports must be based on a Marine's performance versus sociability. Reporting officials can inadvertently render these controls ineffective by preparing and submitting fimess reports that fail to adhere to both the letter and the spirit of the PES Manual. Timely Receipt. Timely receipt of fimess reports by Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) ensures complete and accurate updates of Marines' official military personnel files (OMPFs). Fitness reports ar e due within 30 days of the end of the repor ting period for normal r eports or 60 days for

    adverse reports. As a leadership responsibility., reporting officials and commanders must ensure rimelj 7 submission of fitness reports. For late reports, see chapter 8. paragraph 12, of the PES Manual. * Ensuring Complete Records. The submission of administratively and procedurally correct fitness reports will expedite processing, thereby ensuring a complete, continuous record of each Marine's performance and potential. * Providing Information for Selection Boards. Fair and accurate personnel management decisions require complete fitness report records for all Marines. The culmination of accurate, fair, and timely fitness reports is a documented history 7 of individual performance and potential required by HQMC selection boards. Significance of the Fitness Report The f itness report provides the primary means for evaluating a Marine's performance co support the Commandant's efforts to select the best qualified personnel for promotion, career designation, retention, resident schooling, command, and duty assignments. The fitness report is a vital portion of a Marine's OMPF held at HQMC by MMRP. The fitness report is neither a communication co, nor a counseling document for, the Marine. General Charles Krulak, 31st Commandant of the Marine Corps, provided the following guidance. The completed fitness report is the most important information component in manpower management It is the primary means of evaluating a Marine's performance. The fitness report is the Commandant's primary cool available for the selection of personnel for promotion, retention, career designation, resident schooling, command, and duty assignments. Therefore, the completion of this report is one of an officer's most critical responsibilities. Inherent in this duty is the commitment of each reporting senior and reviewing officer to ensure rhe integrity of the system by close attention co accurate marking and timely reporting. Every- officer serves a role in the scrupulous maintenance of this evaluation system, ultimately important to both the individual and the Marine Corps. Inflationary markings only serve to dilute the actual value of each report, rendering the fitness report ineffective. Reviewing officials will not concur with inflated reports. Roles Page 12 of the IMI explains the PES roles as Reporting Senior (RS), Reviewing Officer (RO), Third officer sighter, and Commandant of the Marine Corps or Headquarters Marine Corps. The ocher individuals chat have roles in the process but are not in rite PES reporting chain include the Marine reported on (MRO), senior enlisted advisors, and commanders. Marine Reported On (MRO) Responsibilities For specific MRO responsibilities, refer to page 13 of the IMI. Your fitness report is a direct reflection of who you are as a Marine, so be sure co give it the time and attention it deserves. The RS should ensure the MRO die starts an MRO Worksheet (MROW) in the A-FES system. The MRO should open a new MROW at the beginning of a reporting period and use it to record accomplishments as they occur, thus reducing the chance that rhe MRO will forget accomplishments. Below are responsibilities of individual Marines but are not listed specifically under the general responsibilities of the MRO of the PES Manual . ■ During the reporting period, track accomplishments for entry 7 on the MROW to include: o Significant events o Billet achievements
