Military Eligibility and Participation in the All-Volunteer Force

Abstract

'Quality,' in the Department of Defense lexicon, generally refers to those characteristics and attributes of military personnel that are considered desirable and that contribute to a more productive, better motivated, and highly capable force. Because of the difficulty in constructing individual profiles and deriving measures of motivation and performance--and because of the wide range of different occupations in the Armed Services--manpower 'quality' is customarily described in the shorthand terms of educational level and standardized test scores.
