Which of the following is a component of the NCOER?

• A. Administrative data
• B. Leave form
• C. Operational orders
• D. Medical evaluation

Answer: (A)

The NCOER is a formal evaluation document, and one of its components is Administrative data. This section captures identifying information such as name, rank, unit, duty title, report period, and the individuals who prepared and rated the form. This metadata is essential for processing the report and keeping the record straight.

Leave form, operational orders, and medical evaluation are separate documents or processes. A leave form is used to request time off; operational orders guide how missions are executed; a medical evaluation documents health status and fitness, not performance and potential. Since the question asks which item is part of the NCOER, Administrative data fits because it is the standard section that identifies and timestamps the evaluation.
