DA Form 4856 — Counseling Statements
Real counseling statements from real NCOs. All identifying information removed. Use them as templates, study them as a leader, or submit your own to help the next NCO in line.
HOW IT WORKS
Built by NCOs, for NCOs
Submit a Sanitized Copy
Remove all names, units, SSNs, and identifying information before submitting. We review every submission before it goes live.
We Review and Categorize
Our admin team reviews each submission for completeness and proper sanitization, then categorizes it by counseling type.
The Community Benefits
Approved statements go into the library. Every NCO who submits makes the next NCO's job easier. That's the standard.
BROWSE BY TYPE
Counseling Statement Library
The library grows as NCOs contribute. Be one of the first to submit — your statement helps every NCO who comes after you.
CONTRIBUTE

OPSEC REMINDER
Remove ALL identifying information before submitting: names, ranks used as identifiers, unit designations, SSNs, dates of birth, and any other PII. Submissions with identifying information will be rejected.
