Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Report sets out recommendations on pay in the Defence Medical Services (DMS) from 1 April 2010 together with the supporting evidence. The context is one of continuing economic uncertainty, sustained commitment to operations in Afghanistan and continued manning shortfalls. The aim is to maintain broad pay comparability with National Health Service (NHS) doctors and dentists and to enable the DMS to recruit, retain and motivate suitably qualified personnel. In 2009, Defence Medical Service manning generally continued the positive trend of recent years. As at 1 April, the trained strength of Medical Officers was 74 per cent of the trained requirement - an increase of 32 trained Medical Officers. Trained Dental Officer manning was 92 per cent of requirement, accounted for by increased numbers obtaining accreditation. DMS recruitment continued with some success but still fell short of targets for Medical Officers and Dental Officers. While the DMS has been able to meet all of its operational commitments, this has only been achieved by augmenting the Regulars with a mix of Reserves, NHS and contract staff. It is recognised that pay was not the only solution to manning shortfalls and that non-pay related measures may have a role to play in addressing retention. Pay recommendations range from no increase to 1.5 per cent for certain grades. The Review Body encourages MOD to make progress on measures outside of pay to help DMS recruit and retain the highly skilled and motivated personnel needed to address current and future challenges.

This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 38th Report by the Armed Forces' Pay Review Body (Cm. 7516, ISBN 9780101751926), and provides independent advice to the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Defence on remuneration and charges for members of the naval, military and air forces of the Crown. The key recommendations in this Review are as follows: a 2.8% increase in military salaries; a 2.8% increase in specialist pay, compensatory allowances and reserves' bonuses; 3.7% increase in Grade 1 SFA/SLA rental charges and lower graduated increases below Grade 1, a further phased increase to garage rent and daily food charge of £4.07. Also there are specific targeted pay measures, including: a 5% minimum pay increase on promotion to OR6; new commitment bonuses and associated transitional arrangements; a reduction in the qualifying periods for longer separation allowance; new pay spines and specialist pay for service nurses; a new RN Clearance Divers' pay spine and two new supplementary rates of diving pay for EOD qualified divers and targeted increases to hydrographic pay. The Review Body estimates that the above recommendations will add 3.4% to the Armed Forces' pay bill. The Review Body also see the weakening labour market as giving the Services an advantage in recruitment and retention, but new policies will be needed to compete in the labour market, when the country emerges from recession. A more strategic approach is also required to review elements of the remuneration package. The Review Body stresses the need to deliver on the Government's commitments under the Service Personnel Command Paper (Cm.7472, ISBN 9780101742429) and specifically to push forward on support for home ownership.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recruiting & retaining the right number of well-trained personnel is vital for the continuing success of the United Kingdom's Armed Forces. Yet recruitment and retention targets are not being met. There is particular concern about shortages in 'pinchpoint' trades - trades or areas of expertise where there is not enough trained strength to perform operational tasks without encroaching on the time provided between deployments for recuperation, training and leave. This report sets out to examine the factors which hamper recruitment and retention in the Armed Forces and reservists & identify what the MoD is doing to improve these. There is also concern and exmination of the issue of why ethnic minority personnel form such a low proportion of the Armed Forces.

This book was released on 2006-11-03 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two volume NAO report examines the recruitment and retention of armed forces personnel. As of July 2006, the trained strength of the armed forces stood at around 180,690, with an estimated shortfall of 5,170 against the Departments requirement. Overall the armed forces are not in manning balance, with the figures masking a wider shortage of trained personnel within a range of specific trade groups across all three services. All three services expect to be within manning balance by April 2008, though historically the services have consistently run below the full manning requirement. The NAO has identified 88 operational pinch point trades where there is insufficient trained strength to perform operational tasks. The report sets out a number of conclusions and recommendations, including: that the Department should review overall manning requirements within individual operational pinch points and also develop guidelines on the expected levels of voluntary outflow for individual operational pinch points; regular surveys of personnel should be carried out, focusing on factors that reduce retention; the Department should also assess the impact of the work/life balance and the extent to which breaches of individual harmony may be understated; further, the Department should look to investigate measures to provide greater stability and certainty of work patterns for personnel between operational deployments; also that a cost effective analysis should be conducted on the payment of financial retention incentives and the impact on decisions to continue serving in the armed forces; the Department should also review the scope of schemes which provide opportunities to offer competitive salaries, and consider the recruitment to a wider range of trades than is currently the practice; the Department should also develop a clear order of priority for the wide range of long-term projects it has planned and commit to firm timescales and funding programmes for the most important. A companion volume (HC 1633-II, session 2005-06, ISBN 0102943575) is available separately which contains case studies and detailed survey results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government asked all departments what more could and should be done to demonstrate commitment to the armed forces and gratitude for their service and sacrifice. This paper is the result of that process. It is designed to end any disadvantage that armed service imposes on the forces, their families and the veterans, particularly concerning movement around the country or the world. It also sets out how better to support and recognise those who have been wounded in service. The paper covers: the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme; health (including hospital and rehabilitation facilities, mental health services and veterans' needs); housing; education and skills; transport (concessionary bus travel for service personnel and blue badge entitlement for disabled veterans); support for families (childcare provision, support for bereaved families); benefits; building careers; Foreign and Commonwealth Office personnel; pay. It outlines what has been achieved already, and future action to preserve and enhance the commitment. Annexes provide supplementary information on the above areas and describe the consultation process that informed this paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self.
