What term is used for formal communication between a rater and ratee to communicate responsibilities, accountability, USAF culture, and other expectations in the Air Force performance process?

• A. Airman Comprehensive Assessment (ACA)
• B. EPR
• C. OPR
• D. Fitness Report

Answer: (A)

Airman Comprehensive Assessment. This tool is the formal counseling conversation between a rater and ratee used to lay out duties, accountability, USAF culture, and other expectations, helping the airman understand what success looks like during the performance cycle. It focuses on development and setting clear goals, rather than delivering a final rating. The other documents—Enlisted Performance Report, Officer Performance Report, and Fitness Report—are official performance evaluations produced after the period ends, documenting how the airman performed rather than serving as the initial, two-way discussion of expectations.
