Building and Retaining the Career Force: New Procedures for Accessing and Assigning Army Enlisted Personnel

Abstract

The Career Force research project is the second phase of an Army program to develop a selection and classification system for enlisted personnel based on expected future performance. In the first phase, Project A, a large and versatile data base was collected from a representative sample of Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) and used to (a) validate the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and (b) develop and validate new predictor and criterion measures representing the entire domain of potential measures. Building on this foundation, Career Force research is finishing development of the selection/classification system and evaluating its effectiveness, with emphasis on assessing second-tour performance. This third year of the project completed data collection from the Longitudinal Validation cohort, conducted analyses of test results from the second tour sample, and expanded development of a model of second-tour noncommissioned officer performance. Analyses of the test results are continuing.
