Book Prescreening Methods for Special Forces Assessment and Selection

Download or read book Prescreening Methods for Special Forces Assessment and Selection written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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."-- Stinet.

Book Special Forces Assessment and Selection

Download or read book Special Forces Assessment and Selection written by Sean P. Feeley and published by . This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) program conducted by the U.S. Army's John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (SWCS). It seeks to determine the most accurate and relevant method of testing potential Special Forces soldiers and officers. Thesis study focuses on the validity of the current personal attributes required in a Special Forces soldier and the current testing methods employed to measure the required attributes set forth by SWCS. It also explores the issue of an additional selection program for the potential Special Forces officer. This study demonstrates that the current attributes required in the potential Special Forces soldier and officer are valid. However it recommends two additional attributes that will enhance the profile of the Special Forces soldier. It also demonstrates that the current testing methods of SFAS do not sufficiently test all the required attributes. This thesis recommends nine additional testing methods that adequately test all the required attributes for a Special Forces soldier and officer. This thesis focus on the assessment and selection program of SFAS; it does not discuss standards that must be achieved by the potential Special Forces soldier and officer.

Book Manning Special Forces in the 21st Century

Download or read book Manning Special Forces in the 21st Century written by Manuel A. Diemer and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special Forces entry-level training (SFELT), also known as the Special Forces (SF) pipeline, is the key to manning SF in the 21st century. The SF pipeline will have to change and adapt if it is to continue to recruit, assess, select, and train (RAST) SF soldiers with the skills, knowledge, and attributes required for SF operational detachments - alpha (SFODA) to successfully accomplish their missions. Failure to develop RAST strategies for the future now could result in a reduction of SF capabilities that cannot be made up quickly. Recruiting, assessing, selecting, and training our entry level SF soldiers to standard in the appropriate skills while leveraging emerging technology as well as maintaining our hands-on, live fire, field training, and warrior focus is the single most important thing that we can do to assure the continued success of Special Forces in the future. Special Forces must determine what factors will affect the future requirements of the force and the impact that those factors will have on SFELT. SF must also capitalize on changes in Army recruiting strategies and be on the leading edge of assessment, training, and adult education technology and techniques in the near term (2005-2020) and will probably have to execute radical change to remain relevant in the long term (beyond 2020). We must lay the groundwork for these changes now. This paper will recommend strategies for improving the SF pipeline. It will focus on strategies and concepts to improve recruiting, assessing, and selecting soldiers for SF training in the future. The future of SF training is beyond the scope of this paper and deserves significant analysis. However, getting the right soldiers, in sufficient numbers, to the training phases of SFELT will have a significant positive impact on the future of Special Forces.

Book Selection and Assessment of Special Forces Qualification Course Candidates Preliminary Issues

Download or read book Selection and Assessment of Special Forces Qualification Course Candidates Preliminary Issues written by Robert J. Pleban and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research note seeks to provide a preliminary assessment of current methods of screening candidates for entry into the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC), and to examine the potential utility of alternative selection approaches. While the criteria for entry into the SFQC are extensive, they focus more on administrative issues and general training experience than on the qualities needed for success in the course, or on an operational detachment. No specialized selection program or battery is currently being used.

Book Special Forces Assessment and Selection Program Development for Force XXI

Download or read book Special Forces Assessment and Selection Program Development for Force XXI written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study has evaluated the current Special Forces Assessment and Selection program by analyzing the functions of recruiting, assessing, and selecting soldiers for Special Forces Qualification training. Critical attributes and psychological screening tools that are used during assessment and selection were reviewed for validity. In addition, a review of the program design was necessary to determine whether or not Special Forces are selecting promising candidates for service in the future. Several observations were identified during the course of this research. For example, the critical attributes utilized for assessment are derived from the Army core values. Special Forces want soldiers who embody the Army value system and live the Army ethic. Also, a re-engineering of the Special Forces Assessment and Selection board and evaluation process is necessary to grow the quality needed for Force XXI.

Fitness and preparation come first; then you have to face everything from brutal speed marches to the underwater tests of the U.S. Navy SEALs. The selection courses of individual units are examined, revealing: • How the Navy SEALs train themselves to prevent drowning. • How the Special Forces become medical experts. • How you can control your mind in order to succeed.
