Research and Study Group 31 (RSG 31) from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States, focused on the topic of Officer Selection. In order to share information and foster a scientific and professional approach to Officer Selection, two major products were delivered. The first was a workshop on Officer Selection held in November 1999 from which the proceedings were published (Report RTO-MP-55 AC/323(HFM) TP/27). The final report on ‘Officer Selection’ is the second achievement of the RSG. After the introduction, an overview is given of the current officer selection practice. A detailed review of the systems used in the countries participating to the research and study group is given and a summary is provided. Then the main results of a survey on officer selection are presented. This survey covers the current practice in nineteen NATO and non- NATO countries. The actual questionnaire is also included. Following the description of the current practice, the search for an ideal system is commented, a conceptual approach is developed, the qualities of an officer are discussed, a personnel selection primer is given and guidelines for test-use are highlighted. The RSG is convinced that a re-examination of any national system in the light of the practice in other countries together with the scientific and professional guidelines developed in this report and reported at the RSG workshop, can significantly improve the outcome of the current officer selection practice. 1 OFFICER SELECTION (RTO HFM 023 – RSG 31) Executive summary Theme In the course of history, different criteria have been used to determine who would command and lead troops: physical power, military skills, nobility and wealth, political power, academic knowledge, personality traits, etc. In modern militaries, commanders are officers; therefore, the primary selection of officer applicants determines who will be available to serve command functions in the future. Therefore, it is important to examine how officer-candidates are selected. This was the central theme of this NATO research and study group (RSG). Considering that the challenge of officer selection has persisted for many decades and recognizing that current practices are embedded in national culture and tradition, one may question the value of a research group on officer selection. The value of this research, at this time, is that many things have indeed changed: • New missions have emerged since the end of the Cold War: humanitarian, peace keeping, and peace making missions. The focus has moved from massive, high intensity conflicts to smaller actions in which new tasks are required and new behavior is expected from officers (e.g., to foster cohesion in a multicultural, multilingual, ad hoc force). • In a number of NATO countries, conscription recently has been or is in the process of being abolished.

HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY OCTOBER. 1969 FOREWORD The constantly increasing complexity of warfare is imposing a con­ tinuing demand for a high degree of competence on the part of the Army's military leadership. Stability operations conducted at the request of a friendly nation have made it mandatory that the Army have top caliber leaders assigned to units of all echelons. One of the major sources of such leadership in the past has been the Army's Officer Candidate Schools. The performance of officers obtained by means of these schools has been sufficiently outstanding to cause the Army to incorporate the officer candi­ date system as a permanent element in the Army Officer procurement program. This pamphlet is designed to provide detailed information on the Army's OCS program to all military personnel who are interested in qualifying for admission to Officer Candidate School. Readers of this pamphlet will gain a clear understanding of the qualifications required for admission. If you are qualified for attendance at Officer Candidate School, it is your privilege to apply. Successful completion will qualify you to begin a challenging and rewarding career as an officer in today's modern Army.

  • Orthographies in Grammar Books
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 30 July 2018 doi:10.20944/preprints201807.0565.v1 Tomislav Stojanov, [email protected], [email protected] Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistic Republike Austrije 16, 10.000 Zagreb, Croatia Orthographies in Grammar Books – Antiquity and Humanism Summary This paper researches the as yet unstudied topic of orthographic content in antique, medieval, and Renaissance grammar books in European languages, as part of a wider research of the origin of orthographic standards in European languages. As a central place for teachings about language, grammar books contained orthographic instructions from the very beginning, and such practice continued also in later periods. Understanding the function, content, and orthographic forms in the past provides for a better description of the nature of the orthographic standard in the present. The evolution of grammatographic practice clearly shows the continuity of development of orthographic content from a constituent of grammar studies through the littera unit gradually to an independent unit, then into annexed orthographic sections, and later into separate orthographic manuals. 5 antique, 22 Latin, and 17 vernacular grammars were analyzed, describing 19 European languages. The research methodology is based on distinguishing orthographic content in the narrower sense (grapheme to meaning) from the broader sense (grapheme to phoneme). In this way, the function of orthographic description was established separately from the study of spelling. As for the traditional description of orthographic content in the broader sense in old grammar books, it is shown that orthographic content can also be studied within the grammatographic framework of a specific period, similar to the description of morphology or syntax.

  • The German Military and Hitler
    RESOURCES ON THE GERMAN MILITARY AND THE HOLOCAUST The German Military and Hitler Adolf Hitler addresses a rally of the Nazi paramilitary formation, the SA (Sturmabteilung), in 1933. By 1934, the SA had grown to nearly four million members, significantly outnumbering the 100,000 man professional army. US Holocaust Memorial Museum, courtesy of William O. McWorkman The military played an important role in Germany. It was closely identified with the essence of the nation and operated largely independent of civilian control or politics. With the 1919 Treaty of Versailles after World War I, the victorious powers attempted to undercut the basis for German militarism by imposing restrictions on the German armed forces, including limiting the army to 100,000 men, curtailing the navy, eliminating the air force, and abolishing the military training academies and the General Staff (the elite German military planning institution). On February 3, 1933, four days after being appointed chancellor, Adolf Hitler met with top military leaders to talk candidly about his plans to establish a dictatorship, rebuild the military, reclaim lost territories, and wage war. Although they shared many policy goals (including the cancellation of the Treaty of Versailles, the continued >> RESOURCES ON THE GERMAN MILITARY AND THE HOLOCAUST German Military Leadership and Hitler (continued) expansion of the German armed forces, and the destruction of the perceived communist threat both at home and abroad), many among the military leadership did not fully trust Hitler because of his radicalism and populism. In the following years, however, Hitler gradually established full authority over the military. For example, the 1934 purge of the Nazi Party paramilitary formation, the SA (Sturmabteilung), helped solidify the military’s position in the Third Reich and win the support of its leaders.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
