Description
Mission — Personnel Performance & Training Technology
This Project conducts applied behavioral and social science research to enhance the Soldier Lifecycle (e.g., selection, assignment, training, leader development) and human relations (e.g., unit cohesion). This Project develops new personnel measures and methods that more fully assess potential and predict performance, behavior, attitudes, and resilience. These technologies also provide innovative and effective Talent Management methods to optimize individual and team performance to ensure the Army can meet mission requirements in uncertain and complex environments. This Project develops new performance measures and metrics for individuals and units, designs innovative training methods, and conducts scientific assessments to inform Human Capital policy and programs. Research in this Project will result in effective non-materiel solutions to help the Army adjust to changes in force size and structure, a variety of mission demands and contexts, challenges in human relations, and budgetary constraints. Work in this Project complements PE 0603007A (Personnel Performance & Training). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas, the Army Vision, the Army People Strategy, the Army's Talent Management Strategy, Army Human Capital Strategy, and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research is performed by the United States Army Research Institute (ARI) for the Behavioral and Social Sciences in Fort Belvoir, VA.

Research in this PE complements PE 0603007A (Manpower, Personnel and Training Advanced Technology). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas, the Army Vision, the Army's Talent Management Strategy, and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research is performed by the Army Research Institute (ARI) for the Behavioral and Social Sciences at Fort Belvoir, VA. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.14 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative." The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.118 million for civilian personnel to optimize the workforce in compliance with Executive Order 14210, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative."

Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)
Talent Assessment and Development
This effort conducts applied research that provides the Army with innovative approaches to personnel assessment, improved prediction and modeling of personnel outcomes (e.g., attrition, retention) and an improved capability to improve prediction and modeling (e.g., potential performance, behaviors, attitudes, and resilience of Soldiers). Conducts applied research to provide the Army with effective leader assessment and development methods to measure, develop, and sustain individual/leader competencies and performance across the Soldier life cycle. Conducts research to create scientifically valid models, tools and techniques for team assignment and development to optimize team effectiveness in-garrison and future operational environments.
