Prediction of Officer Behavior in a Simulated Combat Situation.

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to develop measures predictive of officer performance in combat and technical/administrative duties for use in early career management decisions and early career counseling and personal career choices. Two major dimensions of leadership--combat and technical/ managerial--were clearly differentiated in the range of functional tasks constituting the simulated combat exercise. Officer characteristics as measured by the Differential Officer Battery were found to be differentially predictive of officer behavior in situations representative of the two major leadership dimensions.
