Book Description
This research note seeks to provide a preliminary assessment of current methods of screening candidates for entry into the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC), and to examine the potential utility of alternative selection approaches. While the criteria for entry into the SFQC are extensive, they focus more on administrative issues and general training experience than on the qualities needed for success in the course, or on an operational detachment. No specialized selection program or battery is currently being used. Keywords: Aptitude tests, Physical fitness, Intelligence(Human), Personality tests, Army training, Attrition, Jobs, Special Forces Qualification Course(SFQC), Profile development, Special forces, Assessment, Selection. (SDW).

Preliminary Assessment of Selected Predictors of Special Forces Qualification Course Success
Author: Robert J. Pleban

Languages : en
Pages : 25
Book Description
This report describes a follow-up research effort designed to examine the predictive utility of selected measures of intelligence (Wonderlic Personnel Test - WPT), personality (Jackson Personality Inventory - JPI), and biographical information in predicting the successful completion of Phase I of the Special Forces Qualification course (SFQC). Intelligence, personality, and biographical measures were obtained from 293 soldiers attending Phase I of the SFQC at Fort Bragg, NC. The relationships between two of the selected predictor measures, WPT, and JPI and the Phase I performance criteria were assessed through a correlation-multiple regression strategy. Predictive utility was assessed using a discriminant analysis procedure. Intelligence (WPI) correlated significantly with overall Phase I status and four JIP scales: Energy Level, Anxiety, Risk Taking and Infrequency. The results further suggested that SF candidates who have had prior specialized training emphasizing land navigation, map reading, and patrolling (e.g., Ranger, Reconnaissance, Jungle Warfare) are likely to be much better prepared to complete Phase I successfully than those candidates who have not had such training.

Baseline Differences Between Successful and Unsuccessful Candidates During Special Forces Qualification Course for a Canadian Military Special Operations Unit

Book Description
The assessment, selection and training of Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel is no small task. Significant resources are allocated into the system for developing future Operators. The high attrition rate represents a potential inefficiency and an opportunity for critical examination of existing approaches. Little research is available to determine whether combine like metrics collected at baseline have any predictive value for successful completion of the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC). The current study examined a battery of performance metrics, lifestyle and demographic information collected at the beginning of a qualification course for a Special Operations Unit within Canada. The present analysis explored whether those who successfully completed the qualification course differed within the baseline metrics collected from those who were unsuccessful. In this single year of data, there were no significant differences between the successful and unsuccessful groups of candidates on the course. It also appears that the population selected were exceptionally homogenous within the metrics collected. The present study will provide valuable insight for the Chain of Command regarding of the composition and abilities of those entering their unit.
