Air Force Special Warfare (AFSPECWAR) operators engage in some of the most demanding missions in the U.S. military, necessitating specialized assessment and selection processes. This begins with identifying job-relevant attributes essential for AFSPECWAR roles. The authors pinpoint eight key attributes: Communication, Drive, Integrity, Physical Fitness, Problem Solving, Stress Tolerance, Teamwork, and Trainability. They examine the significance of these attributes and discuss whether certain ones should carry more weight in selection decisions. Although the process of identifying, weighting, and evaluating these attributes is resource-intensive and requires input from various experts, the results are crucial for effective talent management. Selecting appropriate candidates can enhance performance, boost satisfaction and commitment, and lower turnover rates. The authors also propose methods to improve the accuracy of ratings and highlight existing gaps in AFSPECWAR assessment and selection practices. Addressing these gaps by incorporating best practices for assessment centers will further enhance AFSPECWAR's ability to effectively evaluate and select Air Force members with the necessary attributes for success in training and their roles.
