What is the standard reference for the Navy Performance Evaluation System?

• A. BUPERSINT 1610.10 (series)
• B. NAVPERS 1610
• C. OPNAV 5400
• D. MILPERS 1200

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is which instruction officially governs how Navy enlisted performance evaluations are written and processed. The standard reference for the Navy Performance Evaluation System is BUPERSINST 1610.10 series, because this instruction provides the authoritative policy, procedures, timelines, and roles (such as rater and senior rater) for evaluations across the Navy. It sets how evaluation reports are prepared, submitted, and used in career progression, ensuring consistency from command to command. Other references either address different topics or are older guidelines, so they do not serve as the current governing document for the PES.
