Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study identifies factors related to a Marine Corps officer's selection for promotion to major. The focus is on differences in promotion between racial/ethnic groups and between men and women. In addition, data analyses seek to determine the relationship between selected variables-- including measures of performance and priority (precept-stated) occupational specialties--and an individual's probability of promotion. The thesis estimates the independent effects of demographic factors, performance, and precepts using multivariate regression models. The estimates are obtained using maximum likelihood techniques. The results of the analysis indicate that personal decorations and performance evaluations are the most important determinants of an individual's probability of promotion, and that being black or female does not statistically affect the promotion outcome.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the relationship between selection to major in the Marine Corps, and the survival of mid-grade officers to the promotion point of major, by investigating the effects of billet assignments. Specifically, this study looks at the influence of the percentage of time spent in the Fleet Marine Forces (FMF), the percentage of time spent in primary military occupation (PMOS) billet assignments, and the effect of having served in combat, recruiting, security forces, joint, and drill field duties. Models were formulated using groundwork established in previous promotion, retention, and attrition studies. Assignment variables were then introduced to the models. To account for officers' choice for continued service vice forced attrition, the sample was restricted to officers who had attained five years of service. Probit regression was used to find the influence of career assignments on the probability of selection; Heckman's correction was used to control for self-selection bias; and, Cox proportional hazard regression was used, utilizing the same assignment factors, to find the influence of assignments on the likelihood of attrition. The findings indicated that FMF and PMOS ratios above 60 percent had a negative effect on promotion and retention. Also indicated was that time spent outside the PMOS, in "B" billets, had a positive effect on retention. In a time of budgetary constraints, this information may provide assistance to personnel planners as an alternative to pecuniary measures used to maintain and shape the force.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skill shortages are inherent to the current Marine Corps officer promotion system, which selects unrestricted officers regardless of Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). A system that would select either by functional areas or by MOS would be more successful in providing the most well-balanced force, while still maintaining Marine Corps ethos. In an attempt to alleviate skill shortages, manpower planners have cycled through various force-structuring tools over the years to provide a "quick-fix" to skills that have become critically short, while others exceeded their limits. Yet, these tools have not been very successful in sustaining a well-balanced force. The biggest concern in changing the current system is loss of Marine ethos and the production of a "techno-geek" Marine Corps. Skill shortages and a perceived career path will exist as long as there are promotion boards selecting officers from each grade, regardless of their MOS. Selection by MOS or by functional areas are the best options to alleviate critical skill shortages. This paper will discuss possible courses of action within the officer promotion selection system to resolve these manpower issues of critically short MOSs of the unrestricted field grade officer corps. Specifically, the paper will provide a historical review of the Marine Corps officer promotion system, the process of the current officer promotion system, and a better understanding of how skill shortages develop and protract. It also will provide some background on force-structuring tools and address why they are inadequate in solving skill shortages. Following an analysis of the Marine Corps restricted officer boards, enlisted boards, and the officer promotion systems of the sister services, recommendations will be made and discussed in an order based on importance determined by the author.
Book Synopsis Effect of Variables Independent of Performance on Promotion Rates to Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel in the Marine Corps by :
Download or read book Effect of Variables Independent of Performance on Promotion Rates to Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel in the Marine Corps written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The models developed in this analysis provide a tool for Marine officers who need a quick, reliable promotion predictor to assist in career assignments or choices. These models use several easily obtained factors to forecast selection rates for promotion to Major, Lt. Colonel and Colonel. Specifically, factors which can be used to predict selection rate's to all the aforementioned paygrades are MARITAL STATUS, ATTENDANCE AT AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL, and ATTAINMENT OF A POSTGRADUATE DEGREE. Duty assignment, commissioning source, and personal awards are significant factors, also, but not universally. Significant by their lack of influence on selection rates are RACE, SEX and COMBAT EXPERIENCE. Other factors also studied but not mentioned in the abstract are discussed in the body of this analysis.
Book Synopsis A Comparative Analysis of Promotion Probabilities for Marine Corps Field Grade Officers with Special Attention Given to Graduates of the Naval Postgraduate School by : David W. Estridge
Download or read book A Comparative Analysis of Promotion Probabilities for Marine Corps Field Grade Officers with Special Attention Given to Graduates of the Naval Postgraduate School written by David W. Estridge and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyzes the relationship between selection to the Marine Corps' Field grade ranks of major and lieutenant colonel and certain personal and professional characteristics. Special attention is given to officers who graduated from the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California. A performance index, computed from each officer's Master Brief Sheet, is included in the models to control for differences in performance. Cross-tabulations and multivariate logistic and ordinary-least-squares regression models are used to analyze characteristics associated with selection probabilities. The results of the analysis indicate that being augmented into the regular Marine Corps, being in the pilot, combat and service support occupational specialties, and accession through the U.S. Naval Academy increase the likelihood of selection to major. For selection to lieutenant colonel, being caucasian, being in occupational specialties other than combat and being accessed through the U.S. Naval Academy or the NROTC increase selection probabilities. For both grades, above average performance, personal decorations and graduating from the Naval Postgraduate School increased the likelihood of selection.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Graduate Education on the Retention and Promotion of Marine Corps Officers by : Gregory A. Branigan
Download or read book The Effect of Graduate Education on the Retention and Promotion of Marine Corps Officers written by Gregory A. Branigan and published by . This book was released on 2001-03-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyzes the factors associated with retention to the 0-5 promotion point and selection for promotion to 0-5. In particular, this thesis focuses on the economic returns to graduate education and specifically Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) education. In theory, the payoff to the Marine Corps is the increased productivity of the officer with a graduate degree. This thesis analyzes the differences in retention and promotion rates between officers with and without graduate degrees. Data from the FY1998 through FY2001 lieutenant colonel promotion boards and data for the corresponding accession cohorts, who entered the Marine Corps between FY1980 and FY1984 are merged with Automated Fitness Report System (AFRS) data. Nonparametric analysis and simple Probit techniques are used to estimate retention and promotion models. The results suggest that, in addition to other factors, graduate degrees from NPS and from sources other than NPS both have a positive effect on the retention and promotion of Marine officers. Several statistical techniques are applied to correct for potential biases due to self selection and sample selection. However, results from these techniques prove sensitive to slight changes in model specification and therefore, are not conclusive.

Download or read book An Analysis of Primary Military Occupational Specialties on Retention and Promotion of Mid-grade Officers in the U.S. Marine Corps written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to identify and evaluate factors that affect retention and promotion of mid-grade officers in the U.S. Marine Corps. The analysis includes evaluation of survival patterns to ten-years of commissioned service and promotion patterns to O-4 and O-5. The primary goal is to explain the effect of an officers2 primary military occupational specialty (PMOS) on retention and promotion. The Marine Corps Commissioned Officer Accession Career (MCCOAC) data file contains cohort information from FY 1980 through FY 1999 and includes 27,659 observations. Using data from the MCCOAC data file, logistic regression and Cox Proportional Hazard models are used to estimate the effects of an officer2s PMOS on survival and promotion patterns of Marine Corps officers. The findings indicate that an officers PMOS is significantly associated with whether an officer stays until 10 YCS or is promoted to O-4 or O-5. Logistic regression results show that pilot PMOSs are positively correlated with surviving until 10 YCS, but are negatively correlated with promotion to O-4, when compared to Infantry. The results also find that the remaining PMOSs are negatively correlated with whether and officer survives until 10 YCS, when compared to Infantry. In addition, only three PMOSs (0402, 7202, and 7523) are positively correlated with whether an officer is promoted to O-4 or O-5. Finally, the Cox Proportional Hazard results show the effect of having a particular PMOS or occupational field on the hazards of separation and promotion.

This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to identify and evaluate factors that affect career development of U.S. Marine Corps officers. The analysis includes evaluation of fitness reports, performance at The Basic School (TBS), retention, and promotion to 0-4 and 0-5 ranks. The primary goal is to explain the effect of officer commissioning programs on officers' careers. The personnel database used for the analysis includes more than 28,000 Marines who entered between FY 1980 and 1999. The performance models assume that commissioning programs that provide longer and more intensive pre-commissioning acculturation, or that credit enlisted service experience, will be associated with better performance Performance models are specified and estimated for TBS class rank, retention to 10 years of service, promotion to 0-4 and 0-5, and for a Performance Index (PI) derived from fitness report marks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Marine Corps prides itself on having a professional and highly capable officer corps. Promotion of these officers through the ranks is largely determined by the amount of time a Marine spends at each grade, known as time in grade. Current promotion trends indicate that time in grade represents the single greatest factor in determining officer promotion eligibility, and unlike the enlisted ranks, the performance of officers within the ranks of captain through lieutenant colonel has little bearing on their promotion timeline. To diminish this disparity, the Marine Corps should place additional emphasis on performance criteria within field grade promotion boards in order to incentivize its officers to excel and to prevent its most competent officers from leaving active service.

Book Synopsis Reengineering the Marine Corps Officer Promotion Process for Unrestricted Officers by : Scott Vasquez
Download or read book Reengineering the Marine Corps Officer Promotion Process for Unrestricted Officers written by Scott Vasquez and published by . This book was released on 2001-03-01 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marine Corps manpower system has the responsibility of ensuring that the appropriate numbers of trained and experienced marines are assigned to commanders to perform their missions. The main concern with the current manpower system is that there are many skills that are critically short while others exceed requirements. The questions that are addressed in this thesis are, 'can and should the Marine Corps promotion system be restructured, redesigned, or replaced to fulfill the objective of properly structuring the force', and 'what would be the policy implications, unintended consequences, and pros and cons of promoting officers by MOS'? The authors explored the issue by first taking a detailed look at the history, statutory basis, and operation of the Marine Corps officer promotion system. The authors then examined the history, statutory basis, and operations of the officer promotion systems of the Navy, Army and Air Force to understand if their promotion systems were engineered to deal with force structuring concerns. The authors conclude the thesis by discussing why restructuring the Marine Corps officer promotion system would not be the best alternative for the Marine Corps and then give recommendations on how the Marine Corps could better implement a force structuring option.
Book Synopsis Challenging Time in DOPMA by : Peter Schirmer
Download or read book Challenging Time in DOPMA written by Peter Schirmer and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many of the laws and policies that govern officer career management (often collectively referred to as "DOPMA," after the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act of 1980) have been in place for decades. DOPMA has served the needs of the services reasonably well, but the current system may not meet the requirements of the future operating environment. One criticism of DOPMA is that it does not allow for much variety in officers' career paths because it is time-driven. Alternatively, officers' competencies are now emerging as the basis for career management. In this monograph, the authors demonstrate how a competency-based officer personnel management system could provide more flexibility in preparing military officers for the wide range of roles and missions of the U.S. military in the 21st century. This analysis focuses on practices governing promotions for military officers and closely related assignment and retirement policies."--Rand web site
