Factors for Determining the Army's Role in Supporting Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) Design/Re-Design

Abstract

Since 1989, the Army Research Institute (ARI) has engaged and sponsored research aimed at developing methods and techniques that can be used to design or re-design Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs). Recently, no systematic review had been undertaken nor were there any current data that could be used to determine the extent to which there is an Army-wide need for continued research and technical assistance. During Spring 1997, ARI sponsored a series of field visits to enlisted personnel proponent offices at which data were gathered about current MOS design/re-design practices. Proponent Offices were visited at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Fort Bliss, Fort Gordon, For knox, Fort Lee, Fort Sam Houston, and Fort Sill. This report is based on the data collected and describes the need for research, the target audience, and the potential payoffs. The appendices provide a summary description of current Army MOS design/re-design practices as well as a summary of the data collected from each proponent.
