analysisofselect00jenk.pdf (3.626Mb)Abstract
This thesis presents a review of recent Army officer professional
development and an analysis of selected promotion
board results. The review consists of descriptions of the
Officer Personnel Management System (OPMS) and the pre-OPMS
system, a comparison of the two systems, and the reasons for
the changeover to OPMS. From this review the following question
is developed: Is OPMS meeting its stated goals through
promotions? To answer this question two Lieutenant Colonel
promotion lists are selected for analysis. The analysis
consists of a contingency table analysis and individual tests
for the difference of proportions for each specialty listed
as over or under aligned at the time of the convening of the
promotion board. The analysis shows that promotion under OPMS
is not alleviating specialty alignment problems for the lists
analyzed. To remedy this specialty alignment problem, a two
step course of action of providing guidance to promotion boards
is recommended.
