Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of U.S. Army Reserve recruiting is conducted across the U.S. Army with data from the Recruit Quota System (REQUEST) . A combination of partial manual data entry and a decided lack of tools for large scale data extraction make REQUEST difficult to use for analysis without an extensive knowledge of the system. In this thesis, I develop a process for screening, preparing, and evaluating REQUEST data for subsequent analysis. This process uses data mining software to progressively work through a series of rules that outline data inconsistencies, mark these records for exclusion and later investigation, and generate a "clean" dataset for analysis. I examine enlistments over a four year period with respect to Military Occupational Specialty and training program structure. Data from the Army Training Requirements and Resource System (ATRRS) are used to provide an overview of Initial Entry Training seat quotas and usage, and to confirm and/or update training dates in the REQUEST dataset. The joint examination of enlistments and training seats provides new insights into enlistment patterns. Additional analysis is possible using demographic data provided by the U.S. Army Recruiting Command. I provide summaries of a few key demographic variables for various subsets of the enlistees, and discuss how similar analyses might prove useful for targeting recruiting efforts and incentives more effectively. Good decisions require good data. This thesis is a start in providing a framework for generating quality USAR accession data for analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional performance metrics, such as number of contracts signed per month per Army recruiter, do not adequately measure recruiter effort, skill, and productivity. The authors develop a "preferred performance metric" that takes into account the difficulty of recruiting different types of youth in various markets and propose short-term changes to the system that would more accurately assess recruiter effort and skill.

Book excerpt: This paper will examine the Army organizational recruiting structures of the Army National Guard and the United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) to include a review of the decision criteria used to consolidate the USAR mission within USAREC. The United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) has missed the United States Army Reserve (USAR) recruiting objective for four years in a row. Based on this trend, Congress has directed the Secretary of the Army conduct a review of the manner, process, and organization used by the Army to recruit new members for the Army Reserve. This analysis used against the backdrop of today's recruiting environment and existing organizational structures will provide the basis for determining USAREC's inability to meet mission. The focus of comparing organizational structure and Command and Control (C2) efficiencies and inefficiencies are used in order to determine the organizational approach that might best suit the United States Army Reserve (USAR). Additionally, this paper will identify organizational options/measures, that the Secretary of the Army can use to eliminate this negative trend.

Download or read book U S Army Reserve Recruiting written by Daniel G. Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to review the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) recruiting process, to analyze unit cost resourcing at the U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC), and to introduce a life cycle cost-effectiveness methodology for evaluating Reserve accession policies. First, we identify the limitations of using unit cost for evaluating and improving USAREC's fiscal performance and as a management tool to allocate resources. Our analysis concludes that current unit cost accounting at USAREC does not provide the proper incentives to cut costs nor the information needed to achieve economic efficiency. Second, we introduce a life cycle cost effectiveness model to compare alternative USAR accession policies. The model uses historical data of soldier attrition and promotion behavior coupled with estimates of recruiting, training and compensation costs to determine life cycle costs of various accession policies. For the data used, prior service (PS) soldiers had lower attrition rates and were more cost-effective over a seven year life cycle than non-prior service (NPS) soldiers. High quality NPS soldiers showed similar results when compared with low quality NPS soldiers. We recommend that USAREC and the USAR use marginal life cycle cost analysis when making manpower procurement decisions and allocating resources.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is an annotated bibliography of research by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) on Army recruiting. Most of the research covered in this report was conducted during the period 1980 and 1999. To provide a framework for this work the research summaries are organized around a model of Army recruitment showing the important factors contributing to successful recruiting. In the model, recruiter production is conceptualized as a joint function of recruiter performance and youths' propensity to enlist. Propensity to enlist is linked to advertising effects and several other environmental factors. Recruiters' performance, in turn, is influenced by their personal characteristics, the training and mentoring they receive, and the level of technical and organizational Support provided to them. The ARI research relating to each of these major components in the recruitment model is documented in this report."--DTIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there is great debate about how work is changing, there is a clear consensus that changes are fundamental and ongoing. The Changing Nature of Work examines the evidence for change in the world of work. The committee provides a clearly illustrated framework for understanding changes in work and these implications for analyzing the structure of occupations in both the civilian and military sectors. This volume explores the increasing demographic diversity of the workforce, the fluidity of boundaries between lines of work, the interdependent choices for how work is structured-and ultimately, the need for an integrated systematic approach to understanding how work is changing. The book offers a rich array of data and highlighted examples on: Markets, technology, and many other external conditions affecting the nature of work. Research findings on American workers and how they feel about work. Downsizing and the trend toward flatter organizational hierarchies. Autonomy, complexity, and other aspects of work structure. The committee reviews the evolution of occupational analysis and examines the effectiveness of the latest systems in characterizing current and projected changes in civilian and military work. The occupational structure and changing work requirements in the Army are presented as a case study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These five volumes concern one of the most important institutions in human history, the military, and the interactions of that institution with the greater society. Military systems serve nations; they may also reflect them. Soldiers are enlisted; they may also be said to self-select. Military units have missions; they also have interests. In an older, more traditional military history, while the second reflects a newer approach. Although each statement in the pairs may be said to be true, the former speak from the framework of the military sciences; the latter, from the framework of the social and behavioral sciences. The military systems of our past differ from one another over time, in political origins, size, missions, and technological and tactical fashions, but to a great extent their historical experiences have been more noticeably similar than they were different. When we ask questions about the recruiting, training, or motivating of military systems, or of those systems' interactions with civilian governments and with the greater society, as do the essays in these five volumes of reading on The Military and Society we are struck by the almost timeless patterns of continuity and similarity of experience. In each of these volumes approximately half of the essays selected deal with the experience in the United States; the other half, with the experiences of other states and times, enabling the reader to engage in comparative analysis.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is an annotated bibliography of research conducted on military recruiting by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI), the other U.S. military services, and foreign military organizations. To provide a framework for the research summaries, they are organized around a model of military recruitment showing the important factors contributing to successful recruiting. The model contains the following factors: (1) personnel selection and assessment; (2) training and development; (3) recruiting management and organization; (4) recruiter performance; (3) marketing; (6) youth supply, characteristics, and influencers; (7) propensity; (8) enlistment decisions; and (9) delayed entry programs. One hundred fifty-one reports are summarized, describing recruiting research most relevant to the current U.S. military recruiting environment. It is hoped that the review provides a comprehensive yet concise picture of the research results generated by the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and foreign service recruiting research communities."--DTIC.
