Which of the following is a type of briefing used in NCOER processes?

• A. Information
• B. Strategy
• C. Forecasting
• D. Negotiation

Answer: (A)

In NCOER processes, information briefings are the standard way to present facts about a NCO’s duties, performance, and impact. The goal is to lay out objective data—what was done, when, how well it met standards, and the results—so the rater can assess performance accurately without added persuasion. This keeps the evaluation focused on evidence you can verify.

Other types of briefings serve different purposes. A strategy briefing would outline future plans or actions, which isn’t the role of an NCOER briefing. Forecasting briefs aim to project future conditions or outcomes, and negotiation briefs revolve around persuading others to accept a position or reach an agreement. These purposes are not aligned with the evaluation process, which is why information briefing is the best fit.
