 Sexual assault is a criminal offense that has no place in the Army. It degrades mission readiness

sexual assault should immediately (within 24 hours) report incidents. Sexual assault is
incompatible with Army values and is punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice
(UCMJ) and other federal and local civilian laws.
 The Army will use training, education, and awareness to minimize sexual assault; to promote the
sensitive handling of victims of sexual assault; to offer victim assistance and counseling; to hold
those who commit sexual assault offenses accountable; to provide confidential avenues for
reporting, and to reinforce a commitment to Army values.
 The Army will treat all victims of sexual assault with dignity, fairness, and respect.
 The Army will treat every reported sexual assault incident seriously by following proper
guidelines. The information and circumstances of the allegations will be disclosed on a need-toknow
basis only.

housing).

What are the proper procedures for performing immediate action on the M2 .50 Cal?

Back 570

If machine gun fails to fire, take the following action:
1. Wait 5 seconds; a hangfire may be causing the misfire. In the next 5 seconds, pull the bolt to the
rear (check for ejection and feeding of belt), release it, re-lay on the target, and attempt to fire. If
the bolt-latch release and trigger are depressed at the same time, the bolt goes forward and the
weapon should fire automatically.
2. If the weapon again fails to fire, wait another 5 seconds, pull the bolt to the rear (engage with the
bolt latch if applicable), and return the retracting slide handle to its forward position. Open the
cover and remove the belted ammunition. Inspect the weapon to determine the cause of
stoppage.
A hangfire or cookoff can cause injury to personnel or damage to the weapon. To avoid these, the
gunner must take the following precautions:
1. Always keep the round locked in the chamber the first 5 seconds after a misfire occurs. This
prevents an explosion outside of the weapon in event of a hangfire.
2. If the barrel is hot, the round must be extracted within the next 5 seconds to prevent a cookoff.
When more than 150 rounds have been fired in a 2-minute period, the barrel is hot enough to
produce a cookoff.
3. If the barrel is hot and the round cannot be extracted within the 10 seconds, it must remain locked
in the chamber for at least 5 minutes, to guard against a cookoff.
4. Keep the weapon cover closed during the waiting periods.

What is an implied duty?

Back 740

Implied duties often support specified duties, but in some cases they may not be related to the
MOS job position. These duties may not be written but implied in the instructions. They’re duties
that improve the quality of the job and help keep the unit functioning at an optimum level. In most
cases, these duties depend on individual initiative. They improve the work environment and
motivate Soldiers to perform because they want to, not because they have to. For example, while
not specifically directed to do so, you hold in-ranks inspections daily to ensure your Soldiers’
appearance and equipment are up to standards.

What does the Evaluation Reporting System (ERS) identify?

Back 762

The ERS identifies officers and noncommissioned officers who are best qualified for promotion
and assignments to positions of higher responsibility. ERS also identifies Soldiers who should be
kept on active duty, those who should be retained in grade, and those who should be eliminated.

Front 763

Under the ERS a Soldier is evaluated on performance and potential. In this system, what three
kinds of evaluations are given?

Back 763

1. Duty evaluations. Either the DA Form 67–9 or DA Form 2166–8 is used for these evaluations.
2. School evaluations. Either the DA Form 1059 and DA Form 1059–1 is used for these evaluations.
3. DA evaluations. Selection boards and personnel management systems are used for these
evaluations. Duty and school evaluations are single time-and-place evaluations and are used to
make DA evaluations. DA evaluations cover the entire career of an officer and noncommissioned
officer.

Front 764

DA evaluations focus on an individual Soldier’s potential. They are judgments on their ability to
perform at current and higher grades, and they are also made to judge whether an officer or NCO
should be retained and given greater responsibility in their present grade. In making DA
evaluations, what three factors are considered?

Back 764

1. Army requirements for leaders: officers and noncommissioned officers frequently change. At
times, the Army has a need for leaders with certain backgrounds, experience, and expertise. The
size of the Army leader corps by law in terms of strength by grade. Army needs limit the number
of selections and assignments that can be made. Thus, a leader’s potential is partially determined
by how they compare with their peers.
2. Duty performance. Performance of duty is an extremely important factor in determining a leader’s
potential. Duty performance is judged by how well a Soldier performs their assigned tasks and
how well they meet Army professional values uniquely established for each respective corps.
3. Leader qualifications. It must be considered in order to meet Army needs for outstanding leaders
of troop or technical units, supporting staff managers, and technical specialists. One
consideration in determining qualifications is the different skills and backgrounds required by
different specialties. Another consideration is a Soldier’s individual progress through specialist
fields to positions of greater responsibility. In addition, their length of service, civil schooling,
military schooling, or other unique skills required by the Army are considered.
