+  The job eval command is used to force an evaluation of a job
+---
+
+# Command: job eval
+
+The `job eval` command is used to force an evaluation of a job, given the job ID.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+nomad job eval [options] <jobID>
+```
+
+The `job eval` command requires a single argument, specifying the job ID to evaluate.
+If there is an exact match based on the provided job ID, then
+the job will be evaluated, forcing a scheduler run.
+
+## General Options
+
+<%= partial "docs/commands/_general_options" %>
+
+## Eval Options
+
+* `-force-reschedule`: `force-reschedule` is used to force placement of any failed allocations.
+If this is set, failed allocations that are past their reschedule limit, as well as any that are
+scheduled to be replaced at a future time are placed immediately. This option only places failed
+allocations if the task group has rescheduling enabled.
+
+## Examples
+
+Evaluate the job with ID "job1":
+
+```
+$ nomad job eval job1
+Created eval ID: "6754c2e3-9abb-e7e9-dc92-76aab01751c8"
+```
+
+Evaluate the job with ID "job1", and reschedule any eligible failed allocations:
+
+```
+$ nomad job eval -force-reschedule job1
+Created eval ID: "6754c2e3-9abb-e7e9-dc92-76aab01751c8"
+```
