Assessments Beefed Up For Battalion Commanders

摘要

The Army has formally launched new requirements for potential battalion commanders that include a five-day evaluation at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Instead of receiving a board review of personnel files, they will now be selected through an evaluation process called the Battalion Commander Assessment Program (BCAP), which features grilling from senior leaders and a psychological review. Army officials announced the changes last year and previously conducted pilot programs at Fort Benning, Georgia.
