Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Congress determines the maximum number of general and flag officers that the military may have by specifying service-specific ceilings. The Defense Dept. has been required to study officer requirements and to recommend changes to the law, if necessary.

Book Synopsis General and Flag Officer Careers by : Harry Thie
Download or read book General and Flag Officer Careers written by Harry Thie and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2001 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress has recently expressed concern that the current tenure system for developing general and flag officers does not effectively prepare them for handling increasing levels of responsibility and for performing with maximum efficiency at each level of assignment. This report assesses the continued appropriateness of mandatory retirement of general and flag officers after 35 years. It focuses on the value of extending tenure, specifically examining promotions, number of assignment, and career length. The study discusses two types of consequences resulting from such an extension. Systemic results of longer service lead to fewer promotions and fewer rising to the highest grades, but increased stability and experience. Career-path consequences indicate more depth or breadth of experience could result for officers. The appropriateness of continued mandatory retirement after 35 years depends, finally, on objectives. If the objective is rapid career-path movement to positions of responsibility, the 35-year limit accomplishes this. If the goal is more experienced officers and greater stability, removing the limit seems best. Decision makers will need to decide which objective is most important.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress has long taken a keen interest in the management of officer careers. It played a major role in the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act of 1980, the legislation that currently governs officer personnel management in all services. Recently, it has turned its attention to the tenure of the most senior military personnel, the general and flag officers. Although current law permits exceptions, it requires most flag-rank officers to retire once they have 35 years of active commissioned service. Congress is concerned that the current system does not adequately prepare officers for the most senior assignments. As a result of these concerns, Congress asked the Secretary of Defense to review the career patterns of flag-rank officers. It requested specific data about average time-in-grade both when selected and when promoted as well as the length of tours. It also asked the Secretary to assess the appropriateness of mandatory retirement at 35 years.

Book Synopsis Aligning the Stars by : Margaret C. Harrell
Download or read book Aligning the Stars written by Margaret C. Harrell and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2004 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) experiences a high turnover from its general and flag officers (G/FOs). A concern exists that simply lengthening the stay of senior officers will only clog the system, stagnating promotions throughout the entire officer corps. In response to this, RAND researchers analyzed the current system, reviewed literature on corporate management practices, and modeled different ways of managing G/FOs. In addition to proposing variations to the promotion model, the authors address the concerns expressed by those in DoD and Congress about implementing such changes.

Book Synopsis Military Personnel by : Brenda S. Farrell
Download or read book Military Personnel written by Brenda S. Farrell and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-11 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General and flag officers (GFO) are the elite leaders of the U.S. military at the rank of brigadier general and above (for the Army, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps) and rear admiral and above (for the Navy). In 2003, the Dept. of Defense (DOD) determined that GFO requirements -- the number of GFOs DOD components need to fill positions -- were higher than the number of GFOs being authorized by Congress. However, in March 2011, DOD announced plans to eliminate 102 (11%) of GFO positions as part of DOD's efficiencies initiatives. Also, recent investigations of GFO misconduct have placed costs associated with GFOs under increased scrutiny by Congress. This report (1) identifies changes in the population and statutory limits for active duty GFOs relative to other active duty personnel, and the extent to which DOD updated GFO requirements; and (2) assesses what is known about the costs associated with active duty GFOs and their aides and trends in such costs, including trends in GFO compensation costs relative to those of other active duty personnel from FY 2001 through FY 2013. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1950, when he commissioned the first edition of The Armed Forces Officer, Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall told its author, S.L.A.

Book Synopsis Managing Adverse and Reportable Information Regarding General and Flag Officers by : Margaret C. Harrell
Download or read book Managing Adverse and Reportable Information Regarding General and Flag Officers written by Margaret C. Harrell and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Title 10 of the U.S. Code requires consideration of adverse information by all general and flag officer boards. Also, adverse information is considered within the services and by the Secretary of Defense when nominating senior officers for assignment. The Secretary of Defense must issue certifications to the President and the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) regarding this information. However, there is a diversity of sources and terminology used to describe events of concern and individuals involved in such events, and recent individual cases have suggested possible gaps in the processes overall. This study is intended to describe and evaluate the reporting practices of the Department of Defense (DoD) and thus ensure that consistent, reliable information supports decisions regarding the management of general and flag officers. The processes described within are complicated and there exists no single authority. Multiple representatives from each service have reviewed the descriptions of the service processes."--Preface.
