We attempt to link the core constructs across the frameworks and identify similarities and differences in terms of their content and structures. We conclude that leadership competency modeling is an inexact science and that many frameworks present competencies that mix functions and characteristics, have structural inconsistencies, and may be confusing to potential end users. Recommendations are provided to improve the methods and outcomes of leadership modeling for the future. Table 1 represents many of the traits and characteristics commonly found in leadership competency frameworks. At first glance it may appear to be a comprehensive framework for leaders. It includes values (principled, integrity), cognitive skills (inquiring, thinking), interpersonal skills (caring, e...

Because the ALM is learner-centric, it specifies that instructors must now become facilitators in a more distributed classroom role. As facilitators, they must acquire skills at tailoring instruction to learners' personal characteristics and at employing technology-enabled learning tools. Although the ALM outlines the end-state of the re-examination of instructors, it does not directly address the processes by which the Army is to attain the end-state. This report addresses the need to better explicate the processes by which the Army can select, train, and assess instructors in support of the ALM. General instructor selection, preparation, and assessment processes are addressed. From this, an operational definition of an effective Army instructor is derived, as are the KSAOs for instructors. A framework for the Army's utilization of the KSAOs in instructor selection, preparation, and assessment is provided.

A literature review was conducted and data were collected from subject matter experts who had participated in CSDA pilot tests. Results were organized into 10 factors and 35 associated subfactors related to the topics of training methods and delivery, human and contextual factors, and hardware and infrastructure capabilities and constraints. A decision guide was developed to help inform key decision makers about factors associated with the use of digital applications and handheld devices in training. 15.

The purpose of this research was to identify the effects and costs associated with implementing cost containment initiatives as well as to suggest ways in which state departments of transportation can make informed decisions regarding the use of these various initiatives. The digest provides a summary of the project, the background literature review, and the project results. In addition, a Cost Containment Decision Guide that was created based on the results of this study is included.

Funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Defense Laboratory Partnership for Technology Transfer, represents an opportunity for the Department of Defense to transition research and development products to the commercial sector through partnership with industry. This effort will produce a commercially available special weapons and tactics (SWAT) team trainer that will satisfy both military and law enforcement requirements. This effort has benefits in terms of speed of transition and opportunities for user involvement that will result in a higher quality product than traditional acquisition methods. Details of the system and the transfer process are provided.
