Prescreening Methods for Special Forces Assessment and Selection.

Abstract

The Special Operations Proponency Office (SOPO) at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Warfare Warfare Center and School (USAJFKSWCS) requested help from the U.S. Army Special Operations Command Psychological Application Directorate (PAD) and the U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) in identifying prescreening tools that could be used to identify which soldiers have the greatest chance for success in the Special Forces (SF) selection and tralning pipeline. This information would allow SOPO to minimize recruitment of soldiers with little chance of completing Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS), and allow slots to be filled by soldiers who have a greater probability of success.
