OBJECTIVES OF THE SYSTEM . For a credible and accurate recording of the history of an individual s PERFORMANCE , the PES must accomplish the following objectives: 1. Accurate Fitness Reports. The EVALUATION must: a. Reflect an assessment of PERFORMANCE of assigned duties and responsibilities against an understood set of requirements, individual capacity, and professional character. b. Center on individual PERFORMANCE during a designated period of observation. c. Report fact and the reporting official s objective judgments based on Marine Corps standards; not conjecture.

9 D. Ensure narrative portions of the EVALUATION are clear in their meaning and free of ambiguities and innuendoes. 2. Preventing Inflation. Countering inflation begins with the reporting officials, specifically the RS and RO, who must accurately report a Marine s PERFORMANCE . a. The design of this report limits the ability of RSs to unjustifiably inflate a Marine s PERFORMANCE . b. Reports must be based on a Marine s PERFORMANCE vice sociability. Reporting officials can inadvertently render these controls ineffective by preparing and submitting fitness reports that fail to adhere to both the letter and the spirit of this Manual. 3. Timely Receipt. Timely receipt of fitness reports (within 30 days of the end of the reporting period) by HQMC ensures complete and accurate updates of Marines OMPFs. As a leadership responsibility, reporting officials and commanders must ensure timely submission of fitness reports.

10 4. 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. 5. 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 of individual PERFORMANCE and potential required by HQMC selection boards. 1004. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FITNESS REPORT. The Commandant s guidance for the PES is: "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 tool PERFORMANCE EVALUATION SYSTEM 1005 1-5 available for the selection of personnel for promotion, retention, augmentation, resident schooling, command, and duty assignments.
