SSG 31B NCOER Bullets: 6 Examples at MP Squad Leader Scope
A SSG 31B runs an MP squad and, on the law and order side, often the road itself as patrol supervisor: 3 teams, a shift’s worth of decisions, and the dual combat support mission waiting in the field. First form with all four box checks.
// 01What makes a SSG 31B NCOER different
The MP squad leader’s ledger runs from the blotter to the battlefield: a squad’s patrols supervised and reports quality-controlled, shifts run as patrol supervisor with every escalation decided correctly, field certifications in area security and detention operations, weapons and use-of-force currency across 9 or 10 armed Soldiers, and team leaders developed toward their own squads. Each half of the mission produces its own numbers, and the strong report uses both.
DA Form 2166-9-2 opens all four boxes and ¶3-11a governs the argument. MP work is evaluated constantly, desk-accepted reports, external law and order inspections, field certification lanes, so the squad leader’s bullets should read like results from those gates, with denominators attached.
// 02Tier calibration for a 31B MP squad leader
At squad scope: clean shifts, accepted reports, and certified field tasks is Met (¶3-11a(2)); squad metrics that climbed under this NCO’s supervision drills is Exceeded (¶3-11a(3)); the battalion’s top squad at external evaluation, or squad-built procedures the company standardized, argues Far Exceeded (¶3-11a(4)). Full text in the tier explainer.
// 03Met-tier SSG 31B bullets
Met: ¶3-11a(2) · Achieves
o led 10-Soldier MP squad through law and order operations and 2 field rotations; 100% of reports accepted, all tasks certified
Why this reads as Met: both halves of the dual mission executed to standard for a full year is ¶3-11a(2)’s achieved and maintained. It is the credibility base; the tier movement lives in the deltas above it.
Met: ¶3-11a(2) · Leads
o served as patrol supervisor for 60 plus shifts; every use-of-force escalation reviewed on shift, zero sustained complaints
Why this reads as Met: the road ran correctly on this NCO’s shifts, with the complaint record as proof. Supervising armed law enforcement to a zero-sustained-complaint year is the standard enforced, honestly recorded.
// 04Exceeded-tier SSG 31B bullets
Exceeded: ¶3-11a(3) · Develops
o certified 3 team leaders as patrol supervisors via shift-shadowing he designed; squad absorbed a 3-month supervisor shortage, zero gaps
Why this reads as Exceeded: deliberately building bench depth beyond the requirement, proven the day the shortage hit. The three-month gap covered without incident is the immediate impact ¶3-11a(3) wants, with dates.
Exceeded: ¶3-11a(3) · Achieves
o raised certification first-time GO rate from 60% to 100% across detention and security lanes with monthly scenario rehearsals
Why this reads as Exceeded: a 40-point certification climb with the mechanism named and the lanes specified. Recurring rehearsals are the often-taken initiative; the first-time rate is the checkable result.
// 05Far Exceeded-tier SSG 31B bullets
Far Exceeded: ¶3-11a(4) · Achieves
o led the top MP squad of 9 at the external law and order inspection; selected to run the installation active threat response exercise
Why this reads as Far Exceeded: best of 9 at the battalion’s own inspection, then handed the installation’s highest-visibility exercise. The selection converts the ranking into institutional trust, which is ¶3-11a(4)’s evidence pattern.
Far Exceeded: ¶3-11a(4) · Intellect
o rebuilt company shift handover and evidence custody procedures; zero findings in the next 3 inspections, battalion adopted both
Why this reads as Far Exceeded: a legal-risk failure diagnosed, two procedures rebuilt, a three-inspection clean streak, and battalion adoption. The endurance of the fix beyond his company is precisely what ¶3-11a(4) adds over (3).
// 06Common mistakes on SSG 31B NCOERs
Shift volume as the headline. Every squad leader stands shifts. The evidence is what the shifts produced: acceptance rates, complaint records, response trends, inspection results. Count outcomes, not hours.
Field mission written as an afterthought. Boards read 31B reports for both missions. A squad certified across detention and security lanes with a first-time rate is a full bullet; “participated in field training” is a wasted one.
Legal exposure in the narrative. Names, cases, and investigation details do not belong on an evaluation. The countable shell, reports, findings, certifications, carries the weight without the liability.
// 07The 31B bullet BulletForge will not write
Feed the generator a thin MP squad leader input and ask for the top tier, and it refuses instead of inflating. The refusal names what is missing and burns no quota.
The input a rater actually types
“best squad on the road, desk sergeant material, handles anything” · requested tier: Far Exceeded
What BulletForge answers instead of writing it
This input does not support FAR EXCEEDED. “Handles anything” is a disposition, not a marker. What did the squad score at the external inspection, against how many squads? What certification rate moved and by how much? What procedure did the battalion adopt from this squad? Bring one checkable ¶3-11a(4) fact or take the honest tier; the refusal burns nothing.
