Critical Competencies of Military Embedded Health and Performance Professionals: The "Culture General" Approach.
Summary
Human performance teams (HPT) provide valuable services in military communities. This study highlights the need for specialized training to ensure professionals are prepared for embedded roles within the Department of Defense.
Area of Science:
- Military Health and Performance
- Organizational Psychology
- Human Factors Engineering
Background:
- Human Performance Teams (HPT) are increasingly integrated into military units, aligning with the 2018 National Defense Strategy.
- The demand for embedded professionals is growing due to their community-based approach and adaptive practices.
- Many civilian professionals lack formal training or experience with military culture, community-based services, or operating as a force multiplier.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the military's embedded health and performance service delivery model.
- To identify critical competencies and skills for successful embedded professionals.
- To offer strategies and tools for enhancing preparedness in military unit communities.
Main Methods:
- Review of the military's embedded health and performance service delivery model.
- Identification of foundational competencies and skills through analysis of existing practices.
- Collection of strategies and tools from current embedded professionals within the Department of Defense (DoD).
Main Results:
- Embedded professionals require specific competencies beyond their core disciplines to effectively serve military communities.
- A significant learning curve exists when transitioning to the military embedded model, impacting both civilian and newly minted military professionals.
- Current professionals have developed adaptive strategies and tools for successful integration and service delivery.
Conclusions:
- There is a critical need for formal embedded competency training for professionals serving in military unit communities.
- Improved training will enhance the preparedness of current, future, and interested embedded professionals within the DoD.
- Standardized training will foster more effective and sustainable human performance support within military settings.
