A commander needs to select between two operators for a mission requiring sustained performance under social isolation for 30 days. Candidate A scores higher on physical endurance; Candidate B scores higher on C-SORT resiliency. Who is BETTER suited?
-
A
Candidate A, because physical endurance is the primary demand of extended missions
-
B
Candidate B, because psychological resiliency predicts sustained performance under isolation better than physical endurance alone
-
C
Both are equally suited and selection should be random
-
D
Neither candidate is suited; both scores must be equal to qualify
