Determining the most appropriate criteria for selection to Brigadier General.

The United States Army Military Personnel Center is currently implementing the Selection Board Support System (SBSS), which is an executive decision support system designed to assist selection board members with difficult selection decisions. Previous study groups have determined the criteria by which board members will evaluate candidates, through the grade of 0-6, under SBSS. This thesis determines the most appropriate criteria for the selection to Brigadier General. The criteria were determined by analyzing the expert opinion data of 327 Brigadier and Major Generals, Univariate and multivariate statistical techniques were used to analyze questionnaire data and to suggest selection criteria. The final selection criteria determination was based on results from principle component analysis, variable cluster analysis, and a subjective analysis of the General Officers' comments.
