Abstract:

This thesis examines the usefulness of the United States Marine Corps fitness report information to promotion boards and proposes methodology for monitoring the Marine Corps performance evaluation system. Factor analysis was used to reduce the dimensions associated with fitness report data and construct a discriminant analytic model describing the promotion decision. This decision model sucessfully predicted promotions from fitness report data and showed that the USMC Fitness Report from 1610 contained sufficient information for decision making. A model describing fitness report inflation was formulated during development of monitoring methodology. This inflation model was derived heuristically from observations dealing with school grade inflation.
