dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to develop an algorithm-based talent management system for designating midgrade U.S. Army Medical Service Corps (MSC) officers to specialized areas of concentration (AOCs). The AOC matching system (AOC-MS) utilizes machine learning classifiers to predict officer aptitude for specialized AOCs, informing early career MSC recruitment and talent development efforts. AOC-MS then utilizes matching algorithms and integer linear programs to create optimal matches between officers and AOCs that meet the needs of officers and of the MSC. During a pilot program, AOC-MS outperformed the current designation system. This study will serve as the basis for MSC AOC designation reform. Its implications are applicable to any large-scale military talent management problem.en_US
