Book Description
For one hundred fifty-seven years, the United States Naval Academy has been producing junior officers to serve in United States Navy and Marine Corps fleet commands. Each year, more than 1,200 new midshipmen are inducted into the four-year, total immersion process. Overseeing every aspect of midshipman life is a dedicated and experienced officer and senior enlisted core, The 4,200 midshipmen in the brigade are divided into thirty companies; each led by a fleet experienced junior officer. These Company Officers play a pivotal role in the education, leadership and training of their midshipmen. This research extracts the current measures employed to assess these Company Officers by way of a thorough review of USNA instructions, previous theses, popular literature, and expert interviews, These interviews were conducted with both Battalion and Company Officers via a specific set of uniform questions. Data obtained from interviews were analyzed qualitatively using content analysis in order to identify themes and patterns. Identification and explanation of these measures will assist current and perspective Company Officers in performing their duties more effectively and providing a better product to their midshipmen.

Book Description
The United States Naval Academy is the premier source of officers for the Naval service. It is a four-year total immersion educational experience designed to develop midshipmen morally, mentally, and physically and prepare them for service as either a Naval or Marine Corps officer. The Fourth-Class Indoctrination (Plebe Summer) program is the first military training evolution for most members of the incoming plebe class. The seven-week indoctrination course is intended to provide and introduction to military and academy culture as well as to prepare fourth-class midshipmen for integration into the brigade of midshipmen. This research uses detailed literature reviews and expert interviews to identify the objectives and performance measurement procedures of Plebe Summer. Next it evaluates the performance measurement and outcome management procedures employed by the Naval Academy in assessing Plebe Summer success. Evaluated in this research are the objectives, outcomes, outcome indicators, data collection procedures, and benchmarks applied to the Plebe Summer program. The research indicates that a performance measurement and outcome management system can assist Naval Academy leaders in improving the quality of the Plebe Summer program.

Book Description
This research will first examine the historical role of the United States Naval Academy in developing future naval leaders. The organization of the Naval Academy will be illustrated to provide an understanding of the framework in which the leadership abilities of the midshipmen are developed. The role of the company officer in developing midshipmen will then be introduced. Performance management with performance measurement as a tool for improvement will then be examined in terms of the mission of the academy and role of the company officer. This research will then examine the current performance measurement methods employed by Company Officers at the United States Naval Academy and how these methods factor into improved midshipman leadership development. Research will include conducting a detailed analysis of the role of the company officer in midshipman leadership development. Data will be collected and analyzed using a performance measurement approach. The results of this analysis will enable company officers to develop new measurement ideas with the focus on improving the midshipmen leadership development process.

Book Description
A company officer at the United States Naval Academy (USNA) is tasked with developing midshipmen morally, mentally, physically, and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty. This task requires increased knowledge on performance measurement and the right tool that will enhance their ability to develop midshipmen into the 2lst century. A performance-measurement-based management information system will greatly enhance the company officer's ability to develop, maintain, and use information technology for purposes of performance measurement. Based on user requirements, this research identifies the key result areas and key indicators, designs, and develops a prototype. The Company Officer Management Information System (COMIS) prototype is developed using Microsoft Access 97, an approved Department of the Navy IT-2l compliant software application. The findings in this research strongly support the use of the COMIS prototype at the USNA and indicate that future research and future application development will significantly enhance the development of midshipmen well into the 2lst century.

Book Description
As the primary source of officers for the Navy and Marine Corps team, the Naval Academy's reputation is marked by the quality of its graduates. At the United States Naval Academy, the Color Company Competition annually honors the highest performing company within the Brigade of Midshipmen. This competition includes measures of academic, athletic and professional measures of performance. Using data obtained through the Institutional Research Department, the Physical Education Department, as well as the Activities and Operations Offices, this study examines the validity of the current performance measurement tool at the Academy. Through the use of linear regression models, this study found that the current procedures do meet the intent of published guidance but that those procedures require revision and updating. Conclusions and recommendations for future improvement are provided at the completion of the study. Included as a recommendation is a proposed program combining both the Color Company Competition and the Company Incentive Program. This program and other initiatives are intended to intensify the Naval Academy's focus on fostering esprit de corps and improving the development of midshipmen.

Book Description
This thesis provides data on the perceptions of the role of the Company Officer at the United States Naval Academy (USNA) according to the perspectives of Senior Officers, Battalion Officers, Company Officers and Senior Enlisted Leaders. The author interviewed and surveyed 59 members of the chain- of-command using four interview questions and a trait questionnaire to address several research questions: the purpose of the role of the Company Officer; critical traits needed to perform the job; examples of effective Company Officer behavior; and skills learned by Company Officers. By comparing the interview and questionnaire responses the author determined that significant congruency exists throughout the chain-of-command. Study participants believe Company Officers are essential in developing midshipmen. Company Officers need to be honest, role models, mentors, approachable, loyal, respected and consistent to be effective. By being involved in company activities and spending time with midshipmen Company Officers are best able to be effective. While fulfilling the role Company Officers learn leadership, personnel management and self-awareness. There are two divergent perspectives in the chain-of-command: (1) a minority of Senior Enlisted Leaders believe there are some low-quality officers serving as Company Officers, and (2) a minority of Company Officers feel they are not being professionally developed by their Battalion Officers. Each of the findings are discussed in detail, and quotations from interview are provided to give the reader deeper insight. The author's conclusion is that there is significant congruency throughout the chain-of-command but there are small changes that need to be made to create a more effective and efficient leadership team.

Book Description
Company officers at the United States Naval Academy are responsible for the leadership development of midshipmen. To attract higher quality officers to serve as company officers for the Brigade of Midshipmen and to provide officers with an opportunity for an advanced degree, the Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) Program was established in 1997. This program allows Navy and Marine Corps officers to receive a Master of Science in Leadership and Human Resource Development from the Naval Postgraduate School. After the first year, the program graduates serve two years as company officers and work closely with the midshipmen of the brigade. This research uses data obtained from semi- structured interviews and self-administered questionnaires of 27 LEAD program graduates. It focuses on the perceptions of graduates concerning the perceived strengths and weaknesses of the program, and makes recommendations for change and improvement. This research adds to the body of knowledge and recommendations that exist and serves as a five-year retrospective on the perceptions of the effectiveness of the program and whether or not the program is perceived to be meeting its goals.

Book Description
Exploratory study into the role of the Company Officer at the United States Naval Academy. Briefly documents their historic role and further examines how those from the 2000-2001 time frame perceive themselves either contributing or not contributing to the mission of the Academy. Information gathered via questionnaires enabled the researcher to glean four overall findings. Three of these discuss impediments to the Company Officer job, and the last addresses the overall perception Company Officers have about their job. Retrieved data suggests that although the Company Officer billet contributes to the overall mission of the United States Naval Academy, there is still room for improvement.

Book Description
This thesis examines the relationship between pre-commissioning and post-commissioning characteristics and junior surface naval officer performance, retention, and promotion. The study uses data from the Officer Promotion History Files, (1981-1995). Data on 7,038 officers entering the Navy from 1976 to 1986 are analyzed. Results indicate that Naval Academy graduates, business majors, officers with CRUDES experience, and non-minority officers are more likely to achieve Surface Warfare qualification and receive top fitness report scores. NESEP and NROTC graduates, math majors, officers with CRUDES experience and top fitness reports, and minorities officers are more likely to stay in the Navy to the O4 promotion board. Academy graduates, engineering majors, officers with CRUDES experience, and officers with top fitness reports are more likely to promote to Lieutenant Commander. No significant difference is observed between minority and non-minority O4 promotion probabilities after pre-commissioning and post-commissioning factors are controlled. However, the effects of CRUDES experience, warfare qualification, and fitness report scores may lead to indirect effects which lead to observed performance and promotion rate differences between race/ethnic groups.
