Description

Mission Personnel Performance & Training

This Project matures and demonstrate applied behavioral and social science technologies that enhance the Soldier Lifecycle (e.g., selection, assignment, training, leader development) and human relations (e.g., unit cohesion). These technologies provide advanced personnel measures 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 demonstrates new selection measures, assignment methods, and performance metrics for individuals and units; assesses innovative leader development and learning methods, and conducts scientific assessments to inform Human Capital policy and programs. Research 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 0602785A (Personnel Performance & Training Technology) The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas, the Army Vision, the Army People Strategy, the Army's Talent Management Strategy, and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work is performed by the United States Army Research Institute (ARI) for the Behavioral and Social Sciences in Fort Belvoir, VA.

These technologies provide advanced personnel measures 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 PE evaluates new selection measures, assignment methods, and performance metrics for individuals and units, assesses innovative training methods, and conducts scientific assessments to inform Human Capital policy and programs. Work in this PE 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 PE complements and is fully coordinated with PE 0602785A (Manpower/Personnel/Training Technology). The cited work 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 Work in this PE is performed by the United States Army Research Institute (ARI) for the Behavioral and Social Sciences in Ft. Belvoir, VA. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.955 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 $0.086 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 optimizes and demonstrates innovative talent management approaches to provide the Army the flexibility to adapt to changes in force structure and recruiting environments. This effort matures Soldier selection measures, techniques, and tools to more fully assess Soldier potential and better predict behavior, attrition, Soldier performance, and team effectiveness. This effort also matures and demonstrates methods that develop and model Soldier talents/competencies longitudinally across a career.
