Updates to help you write evaluations, prepare awards and research regulations. The newest releases are listed first.

October 2026

Clearer drafts and grade-specific EPB sections

Chief Eval results now show readable trait names and identify traits that need more supporting accomplishments. Chief Eval and AF Form 1206 drafts stay readable in sections throughout generation. The EPB section picker now limits MSgt-SMSgt Stratification to those grades and CMSgt Higher Responsibility Support to CMSgt. Select the rated Airman’s grade to see the sections that apply. See Navy evaluation examples or Air Force evaluation examples.

Better source handling in RapidRegs

Source links now prioritize publications cited in the answer. Publications marked as retired are filtered out, and citation checks better recognize renamed publications and revision numbers, reducing unnecessary citation warnings. Stray formatting characters have also been removed from answers. Look up a regulation with RapidRegs.

Find packages and start writing more easily

Package search now checks beyond the first loaded page, so you can find older work without loading each page yourself. Use the Active, Archived or All filter to choose which packages to search. Get started links for writing tools now take you through sign-in and into the new-package workflow. Unit approval emails open the current Military Units settings page. Open the package guide.

Drafting and subscription fixes

Fixed cases where routine military accomplishments received unnecessary refusal messages. Air Force award drafts now use the Air and Space Achievement Medal and Air and Space Commendation Medal names. Subscription fixes address cases where access reflected an older subscription after a plan change. Subscription status is also refreshed regularly to keep access aligned with billing.

Packages for evaluations and awards

Rapid Generator brings bullet and award writing into one workspace. Create a named package for yourself, someone you supervise, or a specific report period. Keep the person’s drafts together, pin useful options, and archive the package when the work is finished. You can switch formats within the package’s branch and type of writing. Earlier generations keep their original format. The refreshed navigation also puts account controls in the sidebar and supports light, dark and system themes. Learn how to work in a package.

Formatting checks and more useful history

Generation checks the draft’s structure and supported length limits before it finishes. A draft can restart once while RapidEPR tries to correct a formatting problem. Review the completed result before using it. Previous generations now show the original input alongside the output, making it easier to compare drafts and see which accomplishment produced each result. History also displays readable format and section names.
