Navigating the realm of military progression involves understanding a myriad of forms and procedures, one of which is the DA Form 5339, or the Officer Candidate School (OCS) Applicant's Commander's Evaluation Sheet. This crucial document, governed by AR 350-51 and overseen by the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (ODCSPER), serves as a vital checkpoint in the journey of aspiring officers in the United States Army. It's designed to gather a comprehensive evaluation from a candidate’s Unit Commander, touching on key aspects such as oral and written communication skills, initiative, sensitivity, planning and organizing, amongst others, to deem their suitability for OCS. The evaluation places a strong emphasis on attributes that signal leadership potential, from problem-solving abilities to mission accomplishment. Mandatory disclosure of information by the applicant underscores the form’s significance, as failing to provide necessary details can lead to non-acceptability. The completed form, containing ratings in several dimensions along with remarks from the commander, becomes a part of the candidate's training file, retained until they are commissioned. Through this meticulous process, the DA Form 5339 thus plays a pivotal role in shaping the leadership within the Army, ensuring that only those truly qualified and thoroughly evaluated step into the pivotal roles of officers.
