• A. Airman Basic through Airman
• B. Lieutenant through Captain
• C. Senior Airman through Sergeant
• D. Chief Master Sergeant through Senior Master Sergeant

Answer: (B)

When a new rater steps in because of a change in the reporting official, it’s important to set a clear starting point for the ratee’s performance. The requirement to provide an initial feedback session under these circumstances applies to officers in the ranks from second lieutenant through captain. This ensures the new supervisor and the ratee are aligned on observations to date and on future expectations as the leadership handoff occurs. You can use the ACA Worksheet to conduct this feedback, but formal documentation isn’t required. For enlisted members and for the higher senior NCO grades, this specific initial feedback action isn’t mandated by a change in reporting official, so it isn’t the focus of the procedure in question.
