Assessing Reenlistment Eligibility: A Preliminary Examination of Some New Reenlistment Criteria.
Abstract
Research was conducted to explore new methods for determining the qualification of first-term enlisted personnel and whether it would be desirable to supplement current reenlistment criteria with new criteria. Results showed that the nine existing criteria provide limited control of the size and quality of the Army career force (only one criterion--citizenship--cannot be waived). The following eight new criteria were suggested, together with related measurement techniques: cross-trainability, motivation/attitude, leadership, communications skills, sociability, job efficiency, change, and training ability. In addition to helping the Army accomplish its mission, a system based on these criteria would provide soldiers of varying qualifications with rewarding careers.
