Improved Personnel Placement (IPP)

Abstract

The Improved Personnel Placement (IPP) program aims to improve force lethality and overmatch by identifying candidates for specialized military roles and developing assays to determine physical/cognitive states in order to maximize performance and resilience, while minimizing attrition. IPP will identify and measure biomarkers for unique physical, cognitive, and behavioral traits associated with a broad spectrum of military specialties. The program will link these phenotypic traits and biomarkers to underlying biological gene expression circuits driving performance. This knowledge will help individualize training and provide novel measures of physical/cognitive states for specialized roles, while providing training cadres greater precision for identifying the candidates without bias. Measuring an individual's biological system will ensure that they achieve their maximum potential while facilitating readiness and resilience for the DoD.
