Description: Transformation of the U.S. Army into the Future Force involves changes to missions, systems, and organizational structures. To realize the full potential of transformation, the Army must have the means to select and to assign high quality individuals who, as first-term Soldiers, can meet the training and operational demands emerging with transformation to the Future Force. This report is part of a series of research product reports that provide to potential users information on products resulting from a project titled New Predictors for Selecting and Assigning Future Army Soldiers (Select21). The goal of Select21 is to (a) develop and validate new performance predictor measures and (b) propose use of the most promising measures as a foundation for an entry-level selection and classification system adapted to the demands of the 21st century. The present report describes 16 clusters of jobs that were constructed to cover the domain of Army jobs in the period 2015-2020 and to provlde a framework for the Select21 research. The clusters were constructed for research purposes from future-oriented job information, and they are not advanced as a new structure for classification of Army jobs. Regardless, the clusters provide a potentially useful approach for considering the occupational functions of future Soldiers.
