Officer Selection (la Selection des officiers)
Abstract:
The Human Factors and Medicine RPM Panel held a workshop on Officer Selection at the Hilton Hotel in Monterey, California, USA, 9th - 11th November 1999. The theme of this workshop, officer selection, is an issue of central importance to the military forces of all countries, since it determines which individuals, with what characteristics, will be available to lead the forces in the future. Thirty-three workshop papers were presented by representatives from Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The workshop provided an opportunity for cross-fertilization of ideas between military and civilian personnel managers and researchers across many professional disciplines.
