Army Science Board Ad Hoc Study Group Report on Human Issues.
Abstract
The Army Science Board, through three Ad Hoc Sub-Groups, addressed human issues in terms of responsible organizations, research, and personnel systems maps and models. The consolidated report offers recommendations in each area, with a central recommendation that the Army establish a high level permanent group to coordinate and integrate research, modeling, and policy planning. A coordinated human issues program is deemed essential to increase the efficiency, visibility, priority, and attention to human resources planning. Other recommendations concern the functions of the Army Personnel Systems Committee, the Personnel Program Review Committee, and a suggested permanent support staff. Additionally, personnel implications of new hardware systems need early recognition, with a conclusion that a formal Personnel Planning Package should be required. A strengthened policy research program and user/researcher determined priorities should be developed. Long-term research commitments are recommended, while retaining a short-term, project capability. Improved force effectiveness and force composition models should result from formation of a center of modeling expertise in the Army. (Author)
