Agenda

• Order of Merit List (OML) Model changes for FY14

• FY14 OML Model

• FY14 Branching Process Changes

• Advantages and Disadvantages

• FY14 Accessions Timeline

• FY14 Special Programs

Recommended FY14 ROTC OML Model changes

CHANGES:•Lower total LDAC Performance values from 31.95 to 24.50

•Increase total values on the PMS MSIII CER & 2 campus APFTs from 19.80 to 27.25.

•Land Navigation removed as a standalone input.

IMPACTS:•Shifts focus at LDAC from an evaluation experience to a development experience.

• Powers down to PMS. Empowers PMS to have more impact on Cadet’s ranking and identify high and low performers.

FY13 ROTC OML Model Changes - LDAC Alignment

• Leader Development and Assessment Course (50%)• LDAC Performance (E/S/N)

– Leadership positions– Leadership attributes/skills/actions

• LDAC PLT TAC Evaluation (E/S/N)• LDAC Land Navigation (1st score)

• PMS Experienced Based Observations (50%)• PMS MSIII CER OML• PMS Accessions OML• PMS Accessions Potential Comments• Cadet Training / Extracurricular Activities• Language / Cultural Awareness

4.5

2.25

Increase the development emphasis of LDAC by flipping the relative weight of LDAC TAC evaluation with LDAC performance.

Remove Land Navigation as a separate evaluation event.

Failure of Land Navigation forces an overall “N” rating for LDAC.

Move weight of Land Navigation to PMS MSIII evaluation - from 6.75 to 11.25.

Recommend maximum score for CULP be changed to 38.

11.25

CULP maximum point change allows more Cadets to obtain full 2.25% of OML

These adjustments in the Leadership area incorporate recommendations made by the FY12 Process Action Team and concurred by Brigade Commanders.

Recommend elimination of the Commission Review Board PMS now has greater input to the bottom 5% of OML criteria for review selection PMS can initiate disenrollment Cost savings on board TDY costs

5

FY13 ROTC OML Model LDAC Alignment

Increase the development emphasis of consistent and improved effort.

Make campus APFT equal weight

Reduce weight of LDAC APFT

Failure of LDAC APFT forces an overall “N” rating for LDAC and zero points

“N” at LDAC and zero for APFT makes attainment of active duty almost impossible

This incorporates changes recommended by the FY12 Process Action Team and accepted by all BDE Commanders in April 2012

2. Leadership Program (60%)

Physical(15%)

APFT (90%) (1.69) - Campus (most current fall semester) (2.36) - Campus (most current spring semester) (9.45) - LDAC (1st score)

Athletics (10%) (1.50) - Varsity, Intramural, or Community Team

3.5

6.5

These recommended adjustments move toward more Cadet development for LDAC. Provides the PMSs adequate points in the Model to make a difference between top performers on campus and those Cadets who are on the other end of the spectrum.

Branching Processes

8

Cadets must designate how many branches they would like considered for pre-branching (top choice, top two, or top three). Branch by OML to 40% of mission w/o ADSO, then by OML to 55% of mission w/ ADSO. NO top or bottom OML. All branch choices will be considered by the DABM, and credit will be given to those who ADSO in the DABM.

BENEFITS: Potential to shift the ADSOs for branch to have a more even distribution across the OML vs the status quo where 75% of the ADSOs originate from the bottom half of the OML NO WARGAMING & TRUE PREFERENCES SUBMITTED Larger population to work with in the DABM with a more representative distribution of REDCAT Lays a framework that can seamlessly integrate Talent Management for future cohorts

FY14 BRANCHING PROCESS

RECOMMENDED CHANGES:

USACC branch to 40% of each branches allocations.

Additional 15% with ADSO,

All others to DABM with all 16 branches considered Consider AV in DABM if cadet satisfies prerequisites

The DABM will still weight Cadet Preference & OML standing as the priority factors for branch assignment

9

FY14 Accessions Process Changes

•Continue to branch the top 10% of Cadets selected for active duty into their first branch preference.

•Branch sequentially Cadets by first preference up to 40% of a branch allocation without a Branch Active Duty Service Obligation (BRADSO).

•Branch sequentially Cadets by first preference up to 55% of a branch allocation with (BRADSO). Cadet may opt out of second and third branch considerations.

•Branch sequentially Cadets not branched by above for second or third preference if Cadet indicates second preference is to be considered using 40%, 55% and BRADSO (no BRADSO for 3rd) guidelines. Cadet may opt out of third branch consideration.

•Branch remaining active duty Cadets by the DABM considering all branch preferences and any ADSOs.

10

FY14 Accessions Process Changes

• 45% of Aviation allocations will be filled by the DABM. (Cadets must meet AV specific requirements AFST/SIFT and Class I Flight Physical) to be considered by the DABM.

•Any Cadet may request Education Delay.

•No Top/Bottom half of active duty OML – DABM distributes quality.

•National OML will not be released to the Field. Selection and Branching results will be released in three lists. Active Duty, ARNG and USAR in alphabetical order.

• No requirement for the Branch Expectation Management Tool (BEM-T). Delete previous versions and do not use when counseling your FY14 Cadets.

• If Cadet executes a Branch for ADSO contract for 1st two branch preferences and receives one of those branches as their Basic branch the Cadet will be charged the ADSO (Not including Top 10%).

• No GRFD Contract revocations after 1 July 2013

11

Advantages/Disadvantages

Advantages:

• More time at beginning of Academic year

Data verification and input at ROTC programs

Counseling and mentorship by Professors of Military Science

• Excellence rewarded – no gaming of process

• Cadets can be considered for all branches

• Leads into Talent management initiatives for future Cohorts

Disadvantages:

• Optimization model outcomes more difficult to explain.
