Acceptable Physical Standards for Satisfactory Performance in the 12B Engineer Military Occupational Speciality.

Abstract

This study attempts to determine what is the acceptable standard of body strength, physical stamina, endurance and physical fitness required for satisfactory performance in the 12B (Engineer) Military Occupational Speciality. The investigation examines current regulatory standards, and analyzes tasks required by the 12B Soldier's Manual and Engineer ARTEP. Additionally, a survey was conducted to gather subjective data for experienced Engineer Officers. Investigation reveals that current standards are ambigious and inadequate. Further examination indicates that quantifiable standards can be developed so that individuals could be tested and determined to be physically qualified prior to award of the 12B MOS or assignment to 12B positions.
