Abstract
As the recruiting crisis continues to impact the United States Armed Forces, the United States Military Entrance Processing Command (USMEPCOM) continues to search for ways to increase its capability to efficiently determine which applicants are suited for military service. Unfortunately, USMEPCOM does not have a way to evaluate newly suggested alternatives. By leveraging Value-Focused Thinking (VFT), this research describes 28 fundamental objectives that can be applied to a variety of current and future decision problems. Further, this research applies these fundamental objectives to analyze a current decision problem: reengineering the prescreen process to decrease the time from prescreen submission to contract.
