Project A  

Definition

  • Project A was the name applied by the U.S. Army to its contribution to the Joint-Service Job Performance Measurement/Enlistment Standards (JPM) Project sponsored by the Department of Defense (DoD) in 1982. Lasting until 1989, Project A—which now also comprises the follow-on Career Force project (examining performance during soldiers' second tours of duty and spanning 1990–1994)—is arguably the largest selection and classification project ever conducted.
