Update of U.S. Army Research Institute's Officer Personnel Research Data Bases for 1999 and 2000
Abstract
This document describes the procedures performed to add 1999 and 2000 personnel data to the Longitudinal and Core data sets of the Officer Longitudinal Research Data Base (OLRDB) and the Core Data Set of the Officer Standardized Educational Testing Data Base (OSETDB). These data sets, which were designed for research purposes, contain historical and current data on U.S. Army Officer personnel. The OLRDB contains career history data primarily from the 1979 through 2000 Officer Master Files (OMF) and the Separation Officer Master Files (SOMF). A secondary data source was included to record early separations due to incentive programs. These data were captured from the Voluntary Separation Incentive/Special Separation Benefit (VSI/SSB) file. The OSETDB contains academic measures for officer personnel commissioned between 1980 and 1990 in the form of standardized scores. The testing data consists of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) from the Educational Testing Service and the American College Test (ACT) from The American College Testing Program for the academic years 1973 through 1985.
