Which document specifies the responsibilities and expectations for raters?

The chosen document outlines the responsibilities and expectations for raters in the evaluation process for Non-Commissioned Officers. AR 623-3, also known as "Evaluation Reporting System," specifically provides guidance regarding the performance evaluation for enlisted personnel and focuses on the roles and duties of raters in conducting evaluations. It establishes standards for how evaluations should be completed, detailing the responsibilities involved in the rating process, ensuring that raters include accurate assessments and constructive feedback. This document is essential for maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the evaluation system, promoting fairness and transparency.

The other documents, while important in their own contexts, do not serve the same function concerning evaluation responsibilities. For instance, FM 7-22 pertains to physical fitness and training, DA 4856 is used for developmental counseling, and AR 600-20 covers Army command policy, which includes broader topics such as equal opportunity and sexual assault prevention but does not focus specifically on rater responsibilities in evaluations.
