FOREWORD

This pamphlet is designed to help you, the active Army officer, understand the data

displayed on the Officer Record Brief (ORB).

The ORB is an important tool used in the management of officers. Therefore, the

accuracy of ORB data and our understanding of its meanings is important. You, as an

Army officer, have a key role to play in ensuring your ORB correctly describes you and

your accomplishments.

This guide is designed to be an easy to use reference that will answer most of your

questions. Of course, a pamphlet of this nature cannot contain the answer to every

possible question. However, should you need more detailed information, this guide will

tell you where to find the answer.
