What Is DA Form 3356-1?
DA Form 3356-1 is the USAR Board Member Appraisal Worksheet. Army Reserve promotion boards use this document to evaluate each soldier being considered for a higher grade. The form gives every board member a consistent scoring standard.
The appraisal worksheet covers three evaluation areas: attitude, self-improvement, and achievements. Each area receives a point score from the board member. All scores are combined to reach a final total, which the board uses to make its promotion recommendation.
How Do Board Members Complete the Worksheet?
Each board member fills out a separate copy of the DA Form 3356-1 for every soldier reviewed. The member enters the soldier's name, current grade, and recommended grade at the top of the appraisal form. The member then assigns points across the three evaluation areas.
Once all scores are recorded, the board member totals the points and adds a promotion recommendation. The completed DA 3356-1 worksheet becomes part of the official Army board record. The maximum point total available on the form is 150 points.
