Soldiers in the role take part in processes led by the corps' professionals: organizational consultants, psychologists and sociologists. Each soldier works in 1 or more of 4 practices: selection, assessment, organizational development and research.
In the majority of posts, the role combines office work with facing groups and running screenings and questionnaires. Soldiers use tools such as sociometrics, feedback questionnaires, research and cross-section talks, and help organize assessment centers for lieutenant colonels and colonels and selection camps for combat units.
