2. Authority to Issue and Direct Filing in the AMHRR
Any official with authority to issue an administrative reprimand in a Soldier’s local file may also issue an administrative reprimand with the intent to request that the reprimand be filed in the Soldiers AMHRR. However, regardless of issuing authority, only certain general officers may direct filing in the Soldier’s AMHRR. These include, among others, a general officer exercising

U.S.C. § 3064 or their designee (i.e. Judge Advocate General’s Corps, Chaplains, or Corps of the Amy Medical Department. Permanently filed reprimands will be filed in the performance portion of the AMHRR. Commanders may not file reprimands in the restricted portion of the AMHRR.
D. Process
Administrative reprimands require inclusion of specific language and strict adherence to the process outlined in AR 600-37. Additionally, there are special processing requirements for reprimands resulting from sex-related offenses and many commands have local withholding policies based on a recipient’s rank or position. As a result, commanders considering issuing a reprimand, especially if they intend to file the reprimand in a Soldier’s AMHRR, should consult with their servicing judge advocate. AR 600-8-2 requires commanders to flag Soldiers until final decision on the filing of the reprimand.
1. Referral
Reprimands must be referred to the recipient concerned for comment. This referral will include and list applicable portions of investigations, reports, and other documents that serve, in part or in whole, as the basis for the reprimand.
