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.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a follow-up research effort designed to examine the predictive utility of selected measures of intelligence (Wonderlic Personnel Test - WPT), personality (Jackson Personality Inventory - JPI), and biographical information in predicting the successful completion of Phase I of the Special Forces Qualification course (SFQC). Intelligence, personality, and biographical measures were obtained from 293 soldiers attending Phase I of the SFQC at Fort Bragg, NC. The relationships between two of the selected predictor measures, WPT, and JPI and the Phase I performance criteria were assessed through a correlation-multiple regression strategy. Predictive utility was assessed using a discriminant analysis procedure. Intelligence (WPI) correlated significantly with overall Phase I status and four JIP scales: Energy Level, Anxiety, Risk Taking and Infrequency. The results further suggested that SF candidates who have had prior specialized training emphasizing land navigation, map reading, and patrolling (e.g., Ranger, Reconnaissance, Jungle Warfare) are likely to be much better prepared to complete Phase I successfully than those candidates who have not had such training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this project was to develop an agenda for Special Forces (SF) selection and classification research. Job analysis data, interviews, field observation, and expert judgments about the quality of measures formed the foundation for the Roadmap. The resulting Roadmap is composed of eight projects. Projects 1 and 2, Concurrent Criterion-Related Validation of Readily Available Predictor Measures Against on the Job Performance and Development and Implementation of Content Valid Job Sample Tests, supplement SF selection and classification with measures of leadership, temperament, and communication and analytic skills that could be implemented quickly. Project 3, Validation of Measures of Conventional Army Task Proficiency, Experience and Preference Against Training Performance, addresses the fit between individuals and SF Jobs. Project 4, Validation of Training Performance Against on the Job Performance, would evaluate the usefulness of training data for predicting job performance. Project 5, Predictive Validation of All Predictors Against on the Job Performance, the ultimate test of any selection system, requires maintaining databases for validation purposes. Projects 6-8 involve the development of information to facilitate decision making at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School. The are: Development of a Selection and Training Decision Simulator (Project 6), Review of New Measures of Leader Problem Solving Performance (Project 7), and Training Performance Study (Project 8)."--DTIC.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment, selection and training of Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel is no small task. Significant resources are allocated into the system for developing future Operators. The high attrition rate represents a potential inefficiency and an opportunity for critical examination of existing approaches. Little research is available to determine whether combine like metrics collected at baseline have any predictive value for successful completion of the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC). The current study examined a battery of performance metrics, lifestyle and demographic information collected at the beginning of a qualification course for a Special Operations Unit within Canada. The present analysis explored whether those who successfully completed the qualification course differed within the baseline metrics collected from those who were unsuccessful. In this single year of data, there were no significant differences between the successful and unsuccessful groups of candidates on the course. It also appears that the population selected were exceptionally homogenous within the metrics collected. The present study will provide valuable insight for the Chain of Command regarding of the composition and abilities of those entering their unit.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RAND's National Defense Research Institute was asked to assess minority representation and recruiting in special operations forces. Our study is a quantitative and qualitative research effort to evaluate the level of minority representation in special operations forces and the reasons for current representation and to suggest policy changes that might, if necessary, increase minority representation in these forces. The study may be of interest to other agencies or organizations concerned with issues of minority representation, both within and outside the Department of Defense.

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.

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.
