Selection and Training for Small Independent Action Forces: Development of Materials and Procedures

Abstract

The report describes the completion of the systems analysis and specification of the critical knowledges and skills required for Small Independent Action Forces (SIAF) performance, and development of 19 Program Descriptions--training procedures and materials for developing the required knowledges and skills. In addition, there is a description and provisional evaluation of a test battery for the selection of SIAF personnel. From a survey of current practices and job analysis data, candidate predictor variables were specified and instruments to measure the variables were identified or developed. Criterion tests of SIAF performance were developed for Phase III validation of selection procedures.
