It is called the "Office of

the information DA career
managers use when determining
your next assignment or pro

Special Files Kept By DA
Help Decide Assignments
Enlisted personnel often check
to insure that all pertinent in
formation is included in their
files. Tenhaeff said that if an
individual brings an authentic
record that is not in his OPO
Career File he can have it put
in his file on the spot.
The Pentagon file is not the
same as the official 201 Files
kept at the Army Enlisted
Personnel Support Center Ft.
Benjamin Harrison Ind. Nor is
it an exact copy official or filed
it a so el
Jacket. It is simply a tool for
the DA career managers.
TWO TYPES
Basically two types of in
formation are found in OPO
files—good and bad. Career
managers must know this in
formation when considering in
dividuals for promotion and
assignments.
Specific entries in the OPO
files include:
—DA Form 20. This is a "true
copy" of the qualification
Record not a photo-reproduced
version. Individuals should in
sure it is complete up-to-date
and accurate. Any changes
made to filed Form 20s must
be sent to DA on a Report of
Change (DA Form 2867). If
these changes are late or wrong
the career file Form 20 cannot
be correct.
Enlisted Efficiency Report
(EER) and Enlisted Evaluation
Data Report (EEDR). These tell
career managers how well an
individual knows his MOS and
how well he actually does his
job.
—Enlisted Preference State
ment. In the Modern Volunteer
Army individual preferences
are getting more consideration.

This is an important document
in the Career file.
—Full-length photograph. A
new photo is required every five
years by AR 640-30. The in
dividual checking his file should
insure that his picture is current
and complimentary.
The only bad things an in
dividual can find about himself
in his OPO Career File are those
which have been authenticated
by his commanders and forward
ed through channels. A bad debt
letter for example cannot go
into the file until it has been
judged valid by a CO. The key
word is "official" and the rules
are outlined in AR 640-98.
