Company Commander Competency Assessment for the United States Army

Abstract

The Army cannot afford to develop company commanders who are marginally effective. A measure of a company commander's effectiveness can be ascertained by comparing his performance against a proven competency based model. This study develops a 'success' oriented competency based model and provides a competency assessment and development (CAD) instrument which identifies possible command competency weaknesses for prospective company commanders. The CAD provides a means of identifying 'Where I Am' and then compares 'My Competency Model' with that of 'successful' company commanders in the field. The CAD also provides a planning mechanism and appropriate references to assist the officer in the competency development process.
