Popis:	The current OER system used by the Army addresses senior rater accountability. The main reason the Army went to the new OER is 'rating inflation'. Some senior leaders feared that unless a change had been made to the OER system, future decisions would have more difficult to select officers for promotion and command. The new OER reduces inflation by forcing the senior rater to rate his population to a bell shaped curve. For each senior rater, the number of Above Center of Mass (ACOM) reports is limited to less than 50 percent of all OERs in a senior rater's profile for each grade. There has been considerable controversy about the new OER process. There is a perception that the new OER is too restrictive and does not give the senior rater a consistent platform to judge from. Also it has caused many senior raters to attempt to wargame when an officer should receive an ACOM as opposed to the most deserving officer receiving the ACOM report.
