A Study of Early Service Career MOS Shifts for Personnel Allocated to Infantry MOS.

Abstract

The general aim of the study was to evaluate the retention of personnel, both quantitatively and qualitatively, in MOS 111 and 112. The specific service career time period covered by the study was that beginning with entry into service and extending approximately two years subsequent to entry. During this time frame, four service career points were examined: (1) DA allocated MOS; (2) Advance Individual Training MOS; (3) First Duty MOS; and (4) Second Duty MOS. The specific objectives of the study were to: (1) examine the extent and patterns of MOS shifts at the service career points; (2) determine the distributions of time spent in First Duty and Second Duty MOS; and (3) determine the nature of the relationship between personnel shifts and Army Classification Battery scores.
