This book was released on 1993 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing retention of quality minority officers is a high priority of the Marine Corps. Determination of any differences in survivorship among racial and ethnic groups and any factors associated with those differences is a first step. This study analyzed the performance of Marine Corps officers at different career stages to determine what variables were associated with success or failure incrementally at successive career steps or continuously throughout a career. Factors that significantly impacted performance at all steps through selection to major were COMMISSIONING SOURCE, GCT SCORE, and COMPOSITE THIRD STANDING at The Basic School. Additionally, samples of the Marine officer population, matched according to level of significant factors, were used to determine if success was dependent on race. At the career stages of The Basic School, selection to captain, and selection to major, success was independent of race.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis addresses the reasons why Black officers joined the Marine Corps, their attitudes toward continued service, and their general feelings about population diversity in the military. Focused interviews were conducted with 15 Black Marine officers. All interviews were taped and then transcribed. Analysis of the transcripts revealed 15 general themes. These themes covered many topics, including the people who most influenced an officer's decision to join the Marine Corps, the role of recruiters, perceptions of inequitable treatment, and concerns about achieving minority representation in the officer ranks. A major finding drawn from the themes is that the Marine Corps must continue to strive for a deeper understanding of the problems and issues confronting minority officers. In the end, the key to success in minority officer recruitment lies in the thoughts and perspectives of current, as well as, future minority officers. The thesis concludes with a collection of potential survey items drawn from the themes and recommended courses of action that may help the sea Services pursue their goal of population diversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a straightforward and personalized account of the Corps' efforts during the last three decades to increase the presence of African-Americans within its officer ranks. This narrative represents an account of the Marine Corps' efforts to increase the presence of African-Americans in its officer ranks during the period from 1970 to 1995. The word "presence" is used instead of the term "number" in the title of this effort because it transcends the singular focus of quantity. "Presence" underscores the relative importance of certain areas that contribute to the career progression of commissioned officers. Among those areas are accessions, military occupational specialties, assignments, and promotions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine Corps Recruiting Command administers minority officer recruiting, the brunt of which is the responsibility of Officer Selection Officers. Currently, minority officer accessions fail to reflect the demographic composition of the nation's college market. To increase minority rates, MCRC must align minority officer applicant submission goals with the population of eligible, test-score-qualified, male, baccalaureate degree-seeking students. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze whether current minority applicant submission goals are reasonably allocated. The first phase develops a propensity-weighted Qualified Candidate Population (PW-QCP) model to provide college market estimates. Phase 2 compares these PW-QCP estimates with five-year minority officer applicant trends and minority submission goals. The third phase builds a probit model to predict the probability of accession based on applicant characteristics. The results show that submission goals should be modified to reflect the changing demographics of the nation and that the probability of minority accession is dependent on qualification characteristics that exceed those of the average applicant. The findings suggest that increasing minority representation depends on: (1) submission goals that align approximately with PW-QCP estimates; (2) submission goals that are met by Marine Corps Districts; and (3) minority applicants who can meet or exceed average eligibility requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis addresses the reasons why minority officers joined the Navy and their attitudes toward continued service. Focused interviews were conducted with over 100 minority officers in the Navy at various locations around the country. All interviews were taped and then transcribed. Thirteen general themes emerged from the responses of the officers. These themes covered many topics, including the people who most influenced an officer's decision to join the Navy, perceptions of inequitable treatment, and continuing concerns about racism. A number of conclusions were drawn from the research, which revealed a strong opinion among minority officers that the Navy's Equal Opportunity environment and minority recruitment policies can be improved. Recommendations addressed several areas of possible improvement and proposed further research regarding minority attitudes toward the Navy and Marine Corps. This study was sponsored by the Office of the Chief of Naval Personnel (PERS-61) and the Defense Health Resources Study Center at the Naval Postgraduate School.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the military draft ended in 1975, newly commissioned officers haveincluded increasing numbers of minorities and women. These officers must beretained and promoted for the senior officer ranks to become as diverse asthe junior officer ranks are today. This report examines whether minorityand women officers obtain these promotions and choose to continue in theircareers at the same rate as other officers. The authors conducted tworesearch efforts: analyzing personnel records and interviewing midcareerofficers, personnel managers, and promotion board members individually andin focus groups. Results for minorities other than blacks were limited dueto small sample sizes. White women were found to be less likely to reachhigher officer ranks than were men, mostly because they chose to leave themilitary between promotions. Black male and black female officers generallyfailed promotions in higher proportions than did white males, but were morelikely to stay in the military between promotions. The interviews and focusgroups revealed different perceptions about careers: Black officers seemedto have greater difficulty forming all-important peer and mentorrelationships and overcoming initial expectations of lower performance.Women's careers have been affected by limited occupational opportunities,inconsistent acceptance of their role as military officers, harassment, andfamily conflicts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report analyzes the impact of upgrading and mobility practices and practices for minority personnel within the Navy and Marine Corps. Because the All Volunteer Forces concept has forced the military services to compete with private industry for manpower, the policies and practices of private industry in the area of minority manpower utilization may serve to provide insights and models for the resolution of the problems within the Navy and the Marine Corps. The nature of the problem is described as having both qualitative and quantitative aspects for the enlisted and officer ranks of both services. Several principal factors impacting on the processes of minority upgrading and mobility are identified and discussed in detail. These factors include the following: Standardized written examinations; selection and assignment for occupational training; criteria for promotion; and other environmental factors.

Download or read book An Analysis of the Effects of Minority Command Leadership on the Retention of Minority Sailors - Exploiting Role Model Effects on Entry-level Enlisted Personnel, Fostering Culture of Inclusion written by U S Military and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-23 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluates the effects of minority command leadership on the first-term reenlistment decisions of underrepresented junior enlisted sailors in the U.S. Navy. In this study, I build a data set for Navy enlisted personnel and officers observed from fiscal years 1995 to 2018. Using a linear probability model and an ordinary least squares regression analysis approach, I analyze the first-term retention rates for minority enlisted sailors based on different levels of exposure to minority naval command leadership. This study found statistically significant evidence that suggests that same-minority command leadership influences the reenlistment of minority sailors. The results also demonstrate that increased diversity leads to greater reenlistment rates among non-minorities. These findings on the influence on junior enlisted sailors suggest that the Navy could present more opportunities for minorities to assume senior leadership positions in hopes of increasing minority recruiting, retention, and diversity. Moreover, this research provides support to policy adjustments not only in the Navy, but throughout the military toward placing more underrepresented but qualified personnel in leadership positions to exploit role model effects on retention of entry-level rated enlisted personnel. In addition, insights gained from this study may help Navy decision-makers further develop and foster a culture of inclusion across all ranks, designators, rates, and ratings.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.The Department of Defense (DOD) Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan for 2012 to 2017 was developed to encourage and spread a culture of diversity and inclusion throughout the federal government. Although the strategic plan initially sought to address the civilian workforce, this human resource initiative also focuses on military service members. The Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan for 2012 to 2017 defines diversity as, "all the different characteristics and attributes of the DOD's total force, which are consistent with our core values, integral to overall readiness and mission accomplishment, and reflective of the nation we serve". This definition is intended to help the DOD to implement and sustain an inclusive atmosphere to encourage innovation, optimization, and problem-solving that can be used as a competitive advantage against adversaries. The U.S. population is widely diverse in background and experiences, and the make-up of the DOD workforce should reflect the diversity of the country. Because of this diversity, DOD personnel will be able to share their differing backgrounds and experiences to meet complex challenges, such as the changing global security environment. The strategic plan provided three goals in order to successfully accomplish diversity and inclusion throughout the DOD: One, ensure leadership commitment to an accountable and sustained diversity effort; two, employ an aligned strategic outreach effort to identify, attract, and recruit from a broad talent pool reflective of the best of the nation we serve; and three, develop, mentor, and retain top talent from across the total force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the effects of the recent military drawdown on the separation behavior of minority officers. The objectives of this thesis are: (1) to determine if significant differences exist in the retention/separation behavior of minority and non-minority officers; (2) to determine if any such differences have been affected by the drawdown; and (3) to attempt to link any findings with specific drawdown programs and policies. Using data provided by the Defense Manpower Data Center, cross-sectional profiles of the officer corps are constructed for the period 1987 through 1994. Utilizing separation probability density functions for 1977, 1980, 1983, and 1987 officer cohorts, different phases of officer separation activity are identified for each service. Log-linear survival and logit separation models are then estimated for each phase to assess the effects of minority status on separation behavior. Finally, VSI (Voluntary Separation Incentive) and SSB (Special Separation Bonus) data files are examined with respect to Air Force and Navy offerings. The results show that minority officers are more likely to separate early in their careers (zero to three years) and around the flow point for 0-4 promotion. The data indicate that differences between minority and non-minority separation rates have decreased through the drawdown. The data also suggest that minorities are less likely to accept the VSI/SSB separation incentive, at least in the initial years of the program. The thesis concludes with policy recommendations and identifies areas for future research.
