An Assessment Of

All-Volunteer Force

Recruits

Department of Defense




According to Defense Department data, the
quality of recruits during the first full year of
the all-volunteer force probably has not de-
creased. However, GAO questions the re-
liability of some of the data.
The services used eight different selection and
aptitude classification tests. A common
selection and classification test and common
aptitude areas composed of common
composites would facilitate interservices
quality comparsions and allow applicants to
qualify for other services without further
testing. Defense began using a common test
on January 1, 1976, and agreed to establish a
time frame for common composites if their
feasibility can be established.
