Both Major General Phillip Davidson Jr., who helped develop the program, and the Pentagon are pleased with its results so far. Morale in the first three companies trained under the merit system was higher than average. AWOL and sick calls lower. One of the test companies set a Fort Ord record in rifle marksmanship.
