The 77 Air Force form (DAF Form 77), also known as the Letter of Evaluation (LOE), is a critical tool within the U.S. Air Force's personnel management system. It documents and assesses the performance of officers and Airmen serving in deployed positions, supporting the evaluation system governed by AFI 36-2406.
Who uses DAF Form 77: The form is mandatory for deployed Commanders (CCs) who have held Squadron, Group, or Wing commander positions for 45 days or more based on "G" series orders, in a deployed location or in support of a named operation. Optional LOEs may be submitted for other deployed Airmen at the evaluating officer's discretion.
Key sections of the form include:
Submission requirements: Mandatory LOEs must be submitted no later than seven calendar days after the ratee departs the deployed location. The completed DAF Form 77 is filed in the Officer Selection Record (OSR) and becomes part of the permanent Air Force evaluation system. When an evaluation contains comments that may be unfavorable to the ratee, referral report procedures apply as specified in AFI 36-2406.
