Which item is NOT listed as part of ongoing development?

• A. MILPERSMAN
• B. NSIPS
• C. Pay policies
• D. Leadership development

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is what items are considered part of ongoing development in personnel management. Ongoing development consists of resources and systems that are continuously used to manage personnel actions and compensation: MILPERSMAN is the Navy’s authoritative manual for personnel policies and procedures, used as a constant reference; NSIPS is the integrated system that handles personnel data and pay processing on an ongoing basis; pay policies provide the rules that govern ongoing compensation adjustments. Leadership development, while important for building future capabilities, is typically treated as a separate category of training and development focused on cultivating leadership skills rather than a component of daily or continuous personnel management resources. That’s why leadership development is the item that isn’t listed as part of ongoing development.
