Improving Re-Enlistment through Decision-Making Modeling and Intervention

Abstract

Fifty-nine Grenada veterans currently assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division and the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 75th Ranger Regiment rank ordered twenty-five factors in order of their importance in contributing to the success of Operation Urgent Fury. The data were analyzed using the Objective Judgement Quotient (OJQ*) analysis system developed by Wyvern Research Associates. The results showed that Grenada veterans attributed their eventual success in Grenada to Personnel Factors such as teamwork, small unit leadership, and physical conditioning. Equipment and hardware performed adequately, while those factors relating to Intelligence Information and Interservice Communications were very little help in the overall success of the operation.
