Platoon Leader Performance of USMA Graduates

Abstract

This study assessed the platoon leader performance of recent USMA, ROTC, and OCS graduates on 24 attributes judged vital to junior officer performance. Perceptions of platoon leader performance were obtained from subordinates (platoon sergeants) and superiors (company and battalion commanders) by means of a mailed survey. Result indicated that platoon leaders from all three sources of commissioning were rated well, and that USMA graduates were in a favorable position on most of the attributes. It was also found that the strongest and weakest rated attributes for USMA graduates were similar to those identified in a 1977 study.
