Book Synopsis Reserve Accessions Among Individuals with Prior Military Service by : M. Susan Marquis
Download or read book Reserve Accessions Among Individuals with Prior Military Service written by M. Susan Marquis and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report analyzes the accession behavior of enlistees who have had prior military service either on active duty or in reserve service. The report focuses on the accession behavior of prior service reservists who served in the active Army or in the Army Reserve and Army National Guard. These reservists account for the largest number of separations, and these components have also traditionally had relatively greater problems in meeting their end-strength requirements. The authors endeavor to determine which policies appear to increase accessions among prior service personnel, placing special emphasis on reserve pay and affiliation bonuses. They investigate how skill match varies across different occupations, the timing of entry, years of service, and area demand.
Book Synopsis Accession and Attrition of Prior-service Reservists by : M. Susan Marquis
Download or read book Accession and Attrition of Prior-service Reservists written by M. Susan Marquis and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Note documents a briefing about research on prior-service reservists that was designed to complement previous research about the behavior of non-prior-service reservists. The research investigates accession into the reserves among two groups of individuals with prior military service: (1) those who served on active duty in the Army, and (2) those who served in the Army Reserve or Army National Guard and left reserve service. The research then examines the attrition decision among persons from these two groups who do join (or rejoin) the Army Reserve or Army National Guard. It considers what prior-service personnel enter the reserves, when, why, and the match between their active and reserve occupational specialties. It also considers who leaves the reserves, when, why, and how attrition patterns differ by specialty. The results suggest that targeted recruiting may have more effect on attrition rates than do changes in compensation policies. However, affiliation bonuses appear to be an effective means of recruiting those leaving active service, and, at least for the Army Reserve, in decreasing attrition among those who receive a bonus.
Book Synopsis The Reserve Forces in an All Volunteer Environment by : John R. Brinkerhoff
Download or read book The Reserve Forces in an All Volunteer Environment written by John R. Brinkerhoff and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unsolved problem of pretrained individual manpower has been characterized as the greatest failure of the AVF. While this is an accurate statement, it is not a complete diagnosis. There also was a problem with pretrained individual manpower during the draft years. While there were large numbers of people in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) then, they were not managed, trained, or available for immediate service, and it is unlikely that a rapid full mobilization could have been supported. The reduced strengths brought about by the end of the short term active duty periods have required the DoD to pay attention to the IRR, bring other sources of pretrained individuals into a state of availability, and devote some attention and money to the problem. In that sense, the advent of the AVF has contributed positively to solving the problem. It appears also that actions already taken and underway will provide a satisfactory solution in the future, provided that some plans are made for the use of veterans as an interim measure, the IRR improves in strength and training, and that a hardline reporting policy is maintained.
Book Synopsis Sources and Characteristics of Prior Service Accessions by : Judith C. Fernandez
Download or read book Sources and Characteristics of Prior Service Accessions written by Judith C. Fernandez and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enlisted military personnel who leave the active forces form a valuable pool of trained personnel from which come entrants to the Selected Reserves and the Individual Ready Reserves. In addition, members of this pool may later return to active duty, where they may function as alternatives to nonprior service accessions or to reenlistments. To better understand this source of trained manpower, the authors followed the 1974 cohort of active duty enlistees over time, and investigated the flows among three components of the U.S. armed forces--active duty, Selected Reserves (SR), and Individual Ready Reserves (IRR)--and the flows between the civilian and military sectors. The findings indicate there is a large untapped pool of potential prior service accessions from which to attract personnel into the active forces, and little evidence that drawing from this pool will divert trained personnel from the Selected Reserves. Several tables (data) are included.
Book Synopsis Economic Factors in Reserve Attrition by : M. Susan Marquis
Download or read book Economic Factors in Reserve Attrition written by M. Susan Marquis and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report analyzes the separation decisions of prior-service reservists in the Army Reserve and the Army National Guard, the two components that recruit over 60 percent of all Selected Reserve prior-service accessions. The authors examine the effects of military compensation on attrition among prior-service reservists. They also investigate the ways separation patterns differ, depending on the personal characteristics of individuals. In successive sections, the report (1) reviews the conceptual model of attrition that guides the empirical work and specifies the hypotheses that are tested with the data; (2) discusses the data available for modeling attrition, and the methods of analysis; (3) describes the variation in length of service among prior-service enlistees as a function of selected characteristics; and (4) presents results from a multivariate analysis of attrition. The study suggests that the rate of military pay can significantly affect the length of service of prior-service personnel. However, demographic characteristics have a much larger influence on attrition than economic factors; targeted recruiting may be more effective in retaining personnel for longer terms than changing compensation policies.
Book Synopsis Body Composition and Physical Performance by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Body Composition and Physical Performance written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys the entire field of body composition as it relates to performance. It includes a clear definition of terminology and a discussion of the various methods for measuring body composition. The authored papers represent a state-of-the-art review of this controversial field and address questions such as: What is a better measure of body compositionâ€"body fat or lean body mass? Does being overweight for one's height really affect performance? The book also addresses the issue of physical appearance as it relates to body fatness and performance. It includes an in-depth discussion of many of the topics of interest to those involved in sports medicine and exercise physiology.
Book Synopsis New Sources of Active Duty Military Personnel by : Dennis N. De Tray
Download or read book New Sources of Active Duty Military Personnel written by Dennis N. De Tray and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document considers an alternative source of military personnel: the pool of armed forces veterans who served regular tours of duty and who now work in the civilian sector. Section II sets out armed forces regulations governing prior service accessions. Section III examines current prior service accessions in some detail to judge whether this group should serve as a basis for further analysis. Section IV describes labor force characteristics of veterans, including geographic location and geographic mobility, personal characteristics, and distribution by civilian occupation. Section V looks at a major issue in prior service accessions, occupational differences in civilian and military earnings. The Note ends with a discussion of future work planned in this area. Although this research partially answers the question of why so few veterans reenlist, it does not tell manpower planners at what level prior service accessions ought to be. Future research will address this question. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward a Consensus on Military Service: Report of the Atlantic Council's Working Group on Military Service compiles the work of several authors who are all members of Working Group on Military service. Each chapter tackles relevant issues regarding the U.S. peacetime military volunteer force, such as its previous experiences and future prospects. The opening chapter covers the setting, which in turn provides a geopolitical overview of the issues faced by the U.S. military. The next chapter discusses the history of American military recruitment system, from colonial times up to the last draft era. Chapter 3 tackles the present and future of the U.S. security requirements, while the next chapter discusses the concept of an all-volunteer force as well as its implications. The fifth chapter provides an analysis of the experience and prospects of military reserves in the all-volunteer era. Chapter 6 discusses the possible repercussions of an all-volunteer forces as well as the possible remedy of such predicament. Chapter 7 explains several recruitment options for both active and reserve forces, while the Chapter 8 discusses the use of a compulsory military service when an all-volunteer system is proven inadequate. The ninth chapter examines the relationship between how the U.S. military builds up its military manpower and how it affects U.S. society both morally and ethically. The last chapter provides recommendation based on the information inferred from the previous chapter.
Book Synopsis Army Reserve Component Accessions From Personnel Completing Their First Active-Duty Enlistment by :
Download or read book Army Reserve Component Accessions From Personnel Completing Their First Active-Duty Enlistment written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The planned reduction in force and restructuring of the Army active component (AC) will substantially affect the manning of the Army reserve components (RC). Historically, about 40 percent of the Army National Guard (ARNG) and 60 percent of the United States Army Reserve (USAR) soldiers have served an active-duty tour of service (Buddin and Grissmer, forthcoming). These prior-service soldiers provide the RC with a critical source of experienced, trained soldiers who can immediately enhance the readiness of the Selected Reserve at minimal cost. while the ultimate size and structure of the RC is uncertain, the planned changes in the AC will substantially alter the flow of trained personnel into the RC. In the short term, AC force reductions will increase the potential supply of those with prior service to the reserves. However, these "laid off" soldiers might be reluctant to affiliate with a reserve unit because active service was unexpectedly cut short. In addition, most senior personnel departing from the AC are unlikely to join the RC because historically the reserves have had few unfilled positions in the senior ranks. Finally, the recent Desert Storm experience could make reserve service less attractive for personnel who may foresee the potential for future call-ups that might adversely affect their civilian employment or family situation.

Book Synopsis Strengthening U.S. Air Force Human Capital Management by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Strengthening U.S. Air Force Human Capital Management written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USAir Force human capital management (HCM) system is not easily defined or mapped. It affects virtually every part of the Air Force because workforce policies, procedures, and processes impact all offices and organizations that include Airmen and responsibilities and relationships change regularly. To ensure the readiness of Airmen to fulfill the mission of the Air Force, strategic approaches are developed and issued through guidance and actions of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management assesses and strengthens the various U.S. Air Force initiatives and programs working to improve person-job match and human capital management in coordinated support of optimal mission capability. This report considers the opportunities and challenges associated with related interests and needs across the USAF HCM system as a whole, and makes recommendations to inform improvements to USAF personnel selection and classification and other critical system components across career trajectories. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management offers the Air Force a strategic approach, across a connected HCM system, to develop 21st century human capital capabilities essential for the success of 21st century Airmen.
Book Synopsis The Supply of Enlistees to the Selected Reserve Forces by : William McNaught
Download or read book The Supply of Enlistees to the Selected Reserve Forces written by William McNaught and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Note uses a simple theory of secondary labor-force participation to analyze the reserve enlistment decision. This theory, developed in Sec. II, emphasizes the tradeoff of leisure time for increased income as a key element in the reservist's supply decision. It also includes factors that distinguish the reserve enlistment decision from all other decisions to take a second job. Section III discusses the many difficult problems encountered in assembling the data necessary to test this model. Section IV presents the results, which generally confirm the hypotheses derived from the simple model. Finally, Sec. V comments on the policy implications of the results. Although wage elasticity results are not definitive, they call into question DOD's heavy reliance upon increased compensation incentives for solving reserve manning problems.

Download or read book Army Reserve Force Structure Planning Model written by Lenore A. Pienta and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report analyzes the reenlistment part of the Reserve/National Guard force structure model. Analysis of the Defense Manpower Data Center's Reserve Component surveys, 1986, Reserve Components Common Personnel Data System, and civilian moonlighting wages predicted from the Bureau of the Census reveals that the U.S. Congress can increase reenlistment by increasing Reserve pay. Reenlistment can also be increased by assigning reservists to primary Military Occupational Specialties in which they are trained.
