Combat Allocation and Future Combat Tasks--Status Report, FY 1962,
Abstract
USCONARC and DCSPER have a requirement that means must be devised for estimating military personnel needs of the future, with particular emphasis on needs arising in connection with proper utilization of personnel in combat organizations. The research objective is being pursued in conjunction with later stages in developing an allocation system to insure that the total contribution of personnel entering the Army is maximized both in combat and combat support activities. Trial application of the computerized optimal allocation methods developed to an actual imput sample showed that marked increase in average aptitude levels could be attained in both combat and combat support jobs, and that all EM would have the qualifications prerequisite to MOS allocated by the system. Appropriate content and format of qualitative and quantitative personnel requirements are being developed for inclusion in an Army Human Factors Handbook for use through all stages of weapons development.
