DD Form 2906D — DD Form 2906D, Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System (DCIPS) Performance Evaluation of Record, October 2011

Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System (DCIPS) Performance Appraisal

Start here if you have been told to submit DD Form 2906D. First, know what you are filling: Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System (DCIPS) Performance Appraisal. The document is titled DD Form 2906D, Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System (DCIPS) Performance Evaluation of Record, October 2011.

Your second step is the edition, not stated, listed as not stated. Your third is scope. Because the number carries a DD prefix, you use the same blank as every other military department and defense agency; no service-specific version exists for you to hunt down.

Then settle the schedule. You are working under not stated, with not stated responsible for the document, and your organization layers its own deadlines on that. Ask before you assume a date.

Before you download, pick your approach — editable file or printed page. What follows covers the formats first, then the entries, then what you do afterward.

Start at the header. Complete your identification before anything else, then work through the main entries, then finish at the certification. Skipping around causes contradictions between the top of the form and the bottom.

Your first action is verification. Find the edition date on the form and match it against not stated. A mismatch means you are working from a superseded printing, and because DD forms change Department-wide rather than service by service, the office receiving it will notice.

For questions about a specific entry, check the form's own instructions, and if that does not settle it, open not stated. The directive controls where they differ.

Download the form

Step one is picking the format. You have PDF to choose from, across 5 pages, with approximately 104 fields to complete.

Choose pdf as your default. Next, click inside a box. A fillable pdf responds by outlining the field and letting you type; the text stays in the document when you save it. A printable pdf does not respond, which tells you to print the page and complete it by hand.

Type when you can. Printed entries stay legible after the form is scanned, copied and forwarded, and handwriting often does not survive that trip. If you must write by hand, use block capitals and press firmly.

With the form finished, route it to the office named in not stated or in your organization's own instruction. Keep a copy first. People rarely regret having one and frequently regret not having one.

When DD Form 2906D references another form, search on the series and number. Because DD numbers are common to every military department, the number by itself identifies exactly one document.

Here is where people go wrong. They see a number in an instruction and download whichever form matches it. But DA and DD are separate systems — Army-specific in one case, Department-wide under not stated in the other — so check which series you were sent to before you take the file.

Do not archive this file and reuse it in a year. Forms are reissued as directives are revised, as data requirements shift, and as statutory notice text is amended. Your protection is simple: download fresh each time and confirm the edition date.

Finally, understand the limits of what you have read. This page distributes a published Department of Defense form and describes how to fill it out. It does not give legal or procedural advice, and it cannot promise any outcome for your particular case. For that, contact not stated, your administrative office, or the authority identified in not stated.
