Review and Analysis of the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) Restructuring Problem

Abstract

In 1988, the U.S. Army Signal Center requested that Army Research Instituted (ARI) initiate a focused examination of Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) restructuring issues existing within the Army's Signal Branch. This research note defines a procedural baseline with respect to existing policy, current practices, past research, and identifies possible high impact opportunities for developing systematic and quantitative techniques supporting MOS restructuring studies. This research notes also assesses the potential applicability of expert systems to MOS restructuring analysis activities. The findings of this first effort may be used to set the source and initiate further efforts that will ultimately ease the burdens of the Army's personnel proponents in terms of MOS restructuring. Keywords: Army personnel proponents, Military occupational specialty (MOS), Job specialties, Job classification.
