Data dive could help Army understand how to boost reenlistments

A growing number of commanders are using data analysis programs to help track soldiers' challenges and successes. (Pfc. Myenn LaMotta/Army)

Army leaders may already have the answers for how to solve a host of retention, morale and readiness problems across the service. They just have to find it among millions of points of data they’ve been collecting over the years.

Data analytics efforts once focused mainly on logistics and financial issues have slowly shifted in recent years to cover a host of personnel topics, according to service officials and outside programming specialists.


In the same way that commanders have used large data sets to track supplies and equipment across multiple bases, local leaders are now working to identify troops with specific skill sets, anticipating training shortfalls and other deficiencies in an ever-changing force. That in turn can hopefully help stave off morale issues, troop burnout, and mental health failures — challenges that have been frustratingly difficult for the service to solve.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

When it comes to data, if the data is garbage going in, it will be garbage coming out.  It depends in large measure on how the people making the input are instructed to do it - and what data not to enter. :pondering:
