Improved Personnel Placement (IPP)

Abstract

Building upon work initiated under the Forensic Indicators of Threat Exposure (FITE) program, the Improved Personnel Placement (IPP) program will aim to improve force lethality and overmatch by identifying and training candidates for specialized military positions in order to maximize performance and minimize attrition. IPP will study the relationships between genotype and phenotype to identify unique physical, cognitive, and behavioral traits associated with elite military specialties. The program will develop technology to sense real time gene activity associated with those identified performance traits and leverage this information to provide warfighters with training options to maximize their potential. Maximizing an individual's biological aptitude will enable placement choices that facilitate readiness and resilience for the DoD.
