A Simplified Technique for Evaluating Basic Trainees on Leadership Potential.

Abstract

'Buddy' ratings of leadership potential are obtained for operational purposes on enlisted men during their fifth week of Basic Combat Training (bct). The ratings are obtained by having each trainee rank his squadmates on leadership potential and then rate them on a 7-point leadership scale (7 = high). The scale values for each ratee are then averaged to provide his 'Buddy' rating. Those combat MOS assignees who receive 'Buddy' ratings of 3.5 or higher and meet Combat Aptitude Area score requirements are eligible to participate in a two week pre-AIT (Advanced Individual Training) leadership training program. The actual selection of participants in AIT is made from these eligibles and represents approximately the top 10% of the AIT assignees in terms of the variables considered.
