Description of the Assignment Algorithm

Abstract

Improved motivation and retention of a high quality officer corps within the Army will depend in part on the quality of the system which matches the Army's force structure requirements with the individual Army officer's career needs. In order to better understand the functioning of the current system and to conduct research on officer career progression, a computerized experimental research facility was designed and implemented at ARI. This facility (described by Van Nostrand in a report in preparation) allows ARI scientists to experiment (1) with systems for presenting career information and guidance tailored to the individual officer, (2) with the technology of personnel file review and updating, and (3) with other aspects of information system technology.
