§2182 — Title 14 Coast Guard | U.S. Code

Summary

Within one year after the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2016 became law, the Commandant must make and start a plan to give a multirater assessment every two years to each flag officer, each Senior Executive Service member, and every officer nominated for promotion to flag officer. Officers must also get a multirater assessment before promotion to O-4, O-5, and O-6. Enlisted members must get one before advancement to E-7, E-8, E-9, and E-10. People being reviewed may not pick the peers or subordinates who give feedback. After the review, the person must receive counseling and leadership coaching, and their supervisor must get the results. A multirater assessment gets opinions from supervisors, peers, and subordinates.
