What information is NOT found in DA Form 2166-8-1?

The DA Form 2166-8-1, commonly known as the NCOER Support Form, is designed for outlining an NCO's responsibilities and contributions during the evaluation period. This form plays a critical role in the performance evaluation process, particularly focusing on documents related to an individual's professional development, performance objectives, and initial counseling sessions.

The cumulative deployment history, however, is not a component expressly included in this form. The military typically records deployment history through different documentation systems, while the DA Form 2166-8-1 concentrates primarily on the individual's goals and professional growth. In contrast, the mission scope defines the parameters of an NCO's responsibilities and capabilities, evaluation of professional development assesses growth and competency, and initial counseling documentation serves as a record of early conversations about expectations and goals between supervisors and subordinates. Thus, cumulative deployment history is distinctly separate from the purposes of the DA Form 2166-8-1.
