Formerly, Soldiers in the U.S. Army were not selected for their military occupational specialty (MOS) based on their physical capability to successfully perform the physical tasks necessary for that MOS. The U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) was tasked by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) to develop criterion-based physical requirements for entry into seven physically demanding combat arms MOSs. Researchers from USARIEM completed three studies to develop a valid, safe, and legally defensible physical performance battery to predict a Soldiers ability to serve in these MOSs. Researchers from USARIEM completed three studies to developa valid, safe, and legally defensible physical performance battery to predict a Soldiers ability to serve in these MOSs. This report describes the process of designing and implementing the five criterion measure task simulations (CMTSs) that were common to multiple MOSs and the three MOS-specific CMTSs.
