Data was obtained through literary research on high performing organizations, a review of current recruiting literature, and the personal interview of USAREC staff members, and former recruiting battalion commanders. Areas critical to recruiting success such as personnel management, sales training, caring, production management, awards, integrity, DEP management, high school programs, and the unique aspects of command in recruiting will be reviewed. This study project is intended to be a synthesis of command experience and research, and at times may differ slightly from current USAREC regulations and recruiting doctrine. (SDW)

SEAMONSTER is operating in the partially glaciated Mendenhall and Lemon Creek Watersheds, in the Juneau area, on the margins of the Juneau Icefield. These watersheds are studied for both 1. long term monitoring of changes, and 2. detection and analysis of

The absorption of a pulsed xenon light source was measured by means of eight photomultiplier channels to a spectrograph and an accompanying drum camera. The postshock test gas temperature and pressure were varied over the range 3300-4300 K and 0.36 to 2.13 atmospheres, respectively. The results showed appreciable absorption from C3 for the wavelength range 300 to 540 nanometers. The computed electronic oscillator strength varied from 0.12 to 0.06 as a function of temperature.

Testing with models has begun and technology focus areas have been identified as materials, control, navigation, deployment, and power. .

Such a method would allow the improved reliablity and durability of unmanned ground vehicles, would improve system design by identifying overworked components and identify failing components during proventive maintenance. The presentation illustrates the use of forward looking infrared (FLIR) technology in detecting hot spots created by overworked components in a robot designed by a high school team. FLIR imagery is used within the Army and industry for thermal management of various systems to include circuit design and thermal management of heat producing elements.
