Improving the Personnel Records Scoring System for Air Force Active-Duty Officers and Enlisted Personnel : RAND Corporation , October 14 , 2025
From the report: “U.S. Air Force (USAF) talent management involves regular large-scale and labor-intensive processes to evaluate personnel. To improve the efficiency of these and other processes relying on human resource data, the USAF has invested substantially in data infrastructure, including the cloudbased analytic platform Envision, which is connected to talent management data sources of record, including the Automated Record Management System—Legacy Conversion (ARMS-LC) and Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS). The availability of these data in an integrated analytic platform introduces the potential for new or updated capabilities with cross-dataset linkages and near–real-time data updates previously difficult to achieve at scale. Prior to USAF-wide adoption of Envision, the Directorate of Plans and Integration, Air Force Directorate of Manpower, Personnel, and Services (AF/A1X) asked RAND Project AIR FORCE to develop a prototype tool, the Personnel Records Scoring System (PReSS), to model career milestones of field grade officers using information from narrative performance reports. For this project, AF/A1X asked RAND Project AIR FORCE to improve and expand on PReSS within Envision, with the goal of developing an operationalizable tool to support active-duty officer and enlisted and civilian talent management throughout the enterprise.”
