Review of OCS Board Interview Procedures
Abstract
The CADET LEADERS Task conducts research to improve selection procedures for the United States Military Academy and other primary officer procurement programs, with emphasis on problems of identifying leadership potential and career motivation among the applicants. Since early in World War II, research on selection for the USMA, the Reserve Officers Training Corps, and Officer Candidate Schools has been continuous, resulting in the development and successive refinement of instruments and procedures for each procurement source. The increasing importance of the ROTC training program as a major source of men for commissioning as second lieutenants in the Regular Army and in the Reserve and recent expansion of the OCS program have required the updating of selection procedures and the development of new valid predictors of officer training and duty performance. The present publication reports on a portion of Subtask c, 'Improved OCS Selectors', FY 1968 Work Program, and describes a review of procedures and instruments used by OCS selection boards in the standardized interview and final evaluation of applicants for OCS training.
