Improved Personnel Placement (IPP)
Abstract
Building upon work initiated under the Forensic Indicators of Threat Exposure (FITE) program, the Improved Personnel Placement (IPP) program aims to improve force lethality and overmatch by identifying and training candidates for specialized military positions in order to maximize performance and resilience, while minimizing attrition. IPP will study the relationships between genotype and phenotype to identify unique physical, cognitive, and behavioral traits associated with a broad spectrum of military specialties. The program will develop technology to measure how someone uses their own genes to yield specific performance traits. This knowledge will help the individual leverage this information to improve training, thus maximizing their potential. Measuring an individual's biological system will ensure that they achieve their maximum potential while facilitating readiness and resilience for the DoD.
