Improving the Selection, Classification, and Utilization of Army Enlisted Personnel. Project A

Abstract

This report describes the research performed during the third year (FY85) of Project A, the Army's long term program to develop a complete personnel system for selecting and classifying all entry-level Army enlisted personnel; it also summarizes the developmental work done during the first 2 years of the project. During the third year a wide variety of criterion and predictor measures were pilot tested, refined, and field tested. These efforts resulted in the Trial Battery being used in the Concurrent Validation phase, in which testing was begun during FY85 with a sample of several thousand soldiers. This report is supplemented by an ARI Research Note (in preparation), which contains a number of technical papers prepared during the year on various aspects of the project. Keywords: Army wide measures, Criterion measures, First tour evaluation, Personnel classification, Personnel selection, Predictor measures, Rating scales, Soldier effectiveness.
