Assessing Competencies and Proficiency of Army Intelligence Analysts Across the Career Life Cycle
Abstract
In a series of two interrelated research projects, "Assessing Analytic Proficiency" and "Proficiency Across the All-Source Analyst Career Life Cycle," the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-2, U.S. Army, asked RAND Arroyo Center to develop and implement a process to assess key analytic competencies and proficiency of enlisted personnel in the 35F military occupational specialty, intelligence analyst, and to design a protocol for ongoing evaluation. This report describes the design and execution of the evaluation approach and presents results. The evaluation approach includes identifying key analytic competencies and career life-cycle factors that affect competency development, identifying and designing methods and measures to assess analysts' competencies and proficiency in training and on the job, and using these methods and measures to collect data from both entry-level and experienced 35F analysts. The report will be of interest to those seeking to develop and measure analytical competencies and proficiency in institutional training and on the job.
