Abstract:

This is one of eight reports produced to document the 1986 Army Research Institute Survey of U.S. Army Recruits, also known as the New Recruit Survey NRS. This volume concentrates on the data file documentation and the use of survey data obtained from Army Reserve and National Guard Respondents. A separate volume that documents the survey data files for Active Army respondents is available. A brief project overview is provided, as well as an instructional narrative pertaining to the codebook-based interpretations and use of the 1986 data. Documentation is provided for the development of special variables from Army personnel records and recoding of survey items. Other reports in this series provide more extensive background documentation of the 1986 New Recruit Survey. Tabular descriptions that present the preliminary results of the 1986 survey separately for each Army component are available.
