What are the responsibilities and job description for the Army Talent Management Task Force Command Assessment Program position at Guardian Defense Group Inc.?
Fort Knox
Job Description
In January and February of 2020, the Army Talent Management Taskforce (ATMTF), in coordination with partners from across the Army, conducted the Army’s inaugural Battalion Command Assessment Program (BCAP). This program included in-person assessments focused on determining an officer’s readiness for command and their potential. If determined “ready for command” at BCAP, the officer’s performance on multiple assessments combined with results from the Centralized Selection Board (CSL) determined the Order of Merit List (OML) approved by the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA). The Army used this list to determine who would be a principal select and who would be an alternate select. An important aspect of BCAP consisted of psychometric assessment batteries, observation during peer team events, and psychological interviews. These events were used to inform an interview panel on the candidates’ readiness for command. Additionally, psychologists provided feedback to each individual candidate. The BCAP has evolved into the Command Assessment Program (CAP) that will assess and select both battalion and brigade level command, command sergeants major, and key billets. The CAP will continue to use psychological assessments to determine a candidate’s readiness for command and key billets. The current CAP process will provide results for future Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel Centralized Selection List (CSL) assignments, Command Sergeants Major CSL assignments, Chaplains Assessment Program, Acquisition Leader Assessment Program, Medical Command Assessment Program, and any potential future additions (e.g., reserve component integration). Objectives - The integration of psychological assessments into the Command Assessment Program supports the assessment and selection of the most qualified candidates. Specific objectives of this contract are:
The contractor shall be a licensed clinical psychologist, who has demonstrated assessment effectiveness and meet these qualifications:
