Excerpt from The Personnel System of the United States Army, Vol. 1: History of the Personnel System The great world war differs from all other wars not merely in the number of individuals involved but even more in the number of technicians demanded. Because of the haste in creating the Army it was impossible to develop the experts and accordingly those already possessing such technical skill were, when properly assigned, of the greatest value to the new Army. The importance of personnel work was early recognized and the development of an adequate personnel system for the United States Army entrusted to a group of specialists who were called by the Secretary of War, The Committee on Classification of Personnel in the Army but who worked in the early days directly under my jurisdiction. The sys tem worked out by this group is probably the most effective now in existence. Its purpose is (l) to secure a contented and efficient army by placing each enlisted man where he has the opportunity to make the most of his talent and skill; (2) to commission, assign and promote officers on merit and (3) to simplify the procedure of discovering talent and assigning it where most needed.

The COMPUTERIZED MANPOWER SYSTEMS Task seeks to integrate the growing body of psychological, mathematical, and computer technology in the solution of problems in military manpower. One of its objectives has been to develop computer-aided research approaches and simulation tools useful in (1) defining general principles of manpower systems and (2) formulation and evaluation of manpower policies and procedures. Technical Research Report 1152 summarizes the research methodology developed or adapted by the U.S. Army Personnel Research Office to deal with manpower information problems. Particular concern is with relationships between the amount and type of information on which assignment decisions are made and the performance of the Army's enlisted personnel. Typical findings are: Total performance of Army enlisted personnel could be enhanced by using as performance estimates in optimal assignment procedures the full 2- or 3-digit scores on qualification measures. The effect of the one-digit score is more serious when the range of ability in the allocation group is narrow and when the general level of ability is lowered. More precise prediction of job performance could be attained by introducing performance estimates more closely resembling least squares regression estimates based on the full Army Classification Battery. Total performance could be increased by refinement of the Army Personnel System to afford additional job categories. Optimization techniques may be beneficially applied in the manpower system even though estimates of performance are ordinal (including various ways of ranking) and the assumption of an interval scale is not strictly met.
