1 Frontloading prioritizes information based on importance. For Army writing, the main point should appear as close to the front as conventions allow. Bottom Line up Front (BLUF)
2 Developing writers typically draw conclusions near the end of a section, paragraph, bullet point, or list. Learning writers tend to reach the main point in the middle of the document.
3 Analysis values based on AR 25-50 correspondence requirements; values may need adjusting for assignment specifics (content)
4 The logical times to use passive voice are when the subject (doer) is unknown, the receiver of action takes priority, or when using a commonly passive phrase (e.g. “I was deployed in

Afghanistan”).
5 Not all assignments require paragraphs. For whatever written units are required, the student should keep the writing as lean as possible.
6 Determine appropriate length (leanness) by convention; for example, paragraphs in correspondence should be no longer than 10 lines and 15 words (AR 25-50), whereas 15-20 lines and 24-
30 words are usually acceptable for academic work.

7 Count the number of errors by patterns, not instances. For example, misusing commas ten times still counts as a single error, because the multiple instances show a single pattern.

Criteria 5 – Advanced 4 – Proficient 3 – Competent 2 – Developing 1 – Learning 0-Nonperformer

Purpose:

“Bottom Line
Up Front”

Author places the main

point within the top 2% of
the document and

frontloads within sections,

paragraphs, bullet points
and lists1

Author places the main
point within the top 5% of

the document and usually

within subordinate units

Author places the main

point within the top 10% of

the document and mostly
frontloads within

subordinate units

Author’s main point not

revealed until drawing
conclusions and/or does

not frontload (strongest

points appear behind
written units or conclusion)

Author places the main

point in the middle of the

document (11-89%) and/or
does not frontload within

written units2

Author does not indicate
the main point or it is too

broad/vague to recognize;

written units lack priority
organization (neither

most/least important or vice

versa)

summary/paraphrase

No argument — paper relies

on opinion or speculation

instead of analysis (75%);
summarizes secondary

sources (10-25%)

No argument — nearly

100% of the paper is either

opinion/speculation or a
summary/paraphrase of

secondary sources

5 – Advanced

In addition to the “Proficient” criteria, “Advanced” writing shows clear and consistent mastery of the standards and

techniques. Work product is high quality, completely error-free, and exceeds all requirements.

Behavioral indicators include:

 80 – 100% of the document reflects the overall purpose, minus minimal deviations to display data.

 Title incorporates the argument or report issue, using key words defined in the paper.

4 – Proficient

Demonstrates the Army writing standard or technique accurately and efficiently. Work product is high quality, nearly

error-free except for minor or debatable stylistic mistakes. Addresses the issues of the assignment.

Behavioral indicators include:

 Strong analytical reasoning or organization; for arguments, this demonstrates a thorough understanding of all sides

of an issue without losing focus of the paper’s argument.

 Varied word choice, grammatical constructions, and sentence structure (as appropriate).

 Vocabulary appropriate for audience and technical information.

3 – Competent

Fully qualified in the Army writing standard or technique with reliable execution. Work product achieves requirements

suitable for the training environment with few patterns of error.

Behavioral indicators include:

 Establishes a single, sustained focus throughout with logical flow and transitions.

 All of the information supports the main idea

 Vocabulary appropriate for audience and technical information

2 – Developing

Demonstrates the Army writing standard or technique, though performance may be inconsistent throughout the
document. Has several, repeated patterns of error that would be unacceptable in the field.

Behavioral indicators include:

 Commits several stylistic, rather than grammatical errors (e.g. sentences are grammatically correct, but could be

more concise; author uses passive voice correctly, but could rewrite the sentence more clearly in active voice).

 A pattern of sloppy execution – usually no more than 2-3 errors executed correctly in parts of the assignment and

incorrectly in others.

1 – Learning

Attempts, but does not correctly demonstrate the Army writing standard or technique. Work product shows deviation

from the assignment requirements or inability to achieve them between 50-75% of the paper content.

Behavioral indicators include:

 Excessive — but consistent — errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, formatting or citation.

 Missing or does not execute key concepts; for example, relying on opinion and summary rather than analysis in an

argument.

0 – Nonperformer

Beginner-level writing struggles to demonstrate the Army writing standards and techniques. Writing may show serious
deviations in standard formatting, frequent patterns of error in sentence construction, spelling, grammar, and mechanics

consistent with a raw draft.

Behavioral indicators include:

 Disorganized, erratic errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, formatting or citation.

 Internal paragraph or sentence structures lack coherence (for example, switching topics or interjecting new

information mid-paragraph, or changing from plural to singular subjects in a sentence)
