Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through extensive recruiting efforts, the military services send more than 167,000 men and women each year to basic training. However, about one-third of the enlisted personnel recruited since fiscal year 1987 left the military before completing their initial service obligations. In response to concerns of the Chairman and former Ranking Minority Member, Subcommittee on Personnel, Senate Committee on Armed Services, about this attrition and the cost of recruiting and training personnel who do not complete their initial military obligations, GAO reviewed the services' recruiting processes to: (1) screen, select, and train recruiters; (2) screen, select, and prepare recruits for basic training; and (3) measure and reward recruiter performance. Specifically, GAO identified practices in each service that enhance recruiter performance and recruit retention and could be expanded to other services.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The viability of the All Volunteer Force (AVF) depends, in large measure, on the Department of Defense's (DOD) ability to successfully recruit several hundred thousand qualified individuals each year to fill over 1,400 occupational specialties. Since the March 2003 involvement of U.S. military forces in Iraq, attracting sufficient numbers of high-quality recruits to military service has proven to be one of the greatest personnel challenges faced by DOD since the inception of the AVF. The active Army, the Army Reserve, and the Navy Reserve, for example, failed to meet their fiscal year 2005 recruiting goals. Recruitment of high-quality personnel is a tough proposition, made even more challenging in the current environment when the nation is engaged in combat operations. To exacerbate the recruitment challenges further, DOD estimates that over half of the youth in the U.S. population between the ages of 16 and 21 do not meet the minimum requirements to enter military service. Moreover, additional factors such as the shrinking numbers of new recruits in delayed entry programs and the Army Army's use of stop loss, which delays servicemembers from leaving active duty, indicate that the components may experience continued recruiting challenges as they attempt to meet their personnel requirements. To help overcome recruiting challenges, the military services during the past several years have assigned roughly 20,000 recruiters to manage their recruiting programs and achieve their accession goals.
Download or read book Attitudes Aptitudes and Aspirations of American Youth written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recruiting an all-volunteer military is a formidable task. To successfully enlist one eligible recruit, the Army must contact approximately 120 young people. The National Research Council explores the various factors that will determine whether the military can realistically expect to recruit an adequate fighting force-one that will meet its upcoming needs. It also assesses the military's expected manpower needs and projects the numbers of youth who are likely to be available over the next 20 years to meet these needs. With clearly written text and useful graphics, Attitudes, Aptitudes, and Aspirations of American Youth offers an overview of important issues for military recruiters, touching on a number of important topics including: sex and race, education and aptitude, physical and moral attributes, and military life and working conditions. In addition, the book looks at how a potential recruit would approach the decision to enlist, considering personal, family, and social values, and the options for other employment or college. Building on the need to increase young Americans' "propensity to enlist," this book offers useful recommendations for increasing educational opportunities while in the service and for developing advertising strategies that include concepts of patriotism and duty to country. Of primary value to military policymakers, recruitment officers, and analysts, Attitudes, Aptitudes, and Aspirations of American Youth will also interest social scientists and policy makers interested in youth trends.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1994, the Army Chief of Staff and the Deputy Secretary of Defense asked RAND to examine recent trends in the recruiting market and assess their implications for meeting accession requirements. The request for assistance came about because of indications of increased difficulty in meeting recruiting goals. It consisted of two parts: (1) a quick initial examination of the trends and (2) a longer-term research agenda to study the recruiting outlook in depth. The results of the preliminary examination were briefed in May 1994 and are described in MR-549-A/OSD, Recent Recruiting Trends and Their Implications: Preliminary Analysis and Recommendations (Asch and Orvis, 1994) This report presents results from the longer-term analysis. In it we describe recruiter incentive plans in each service and how they have changed over time. Its findings should interest planners and policymakers concerned with recruiting. Additional results from the longer-term analysis are described in MR-677-A/OSD, Military Recruiting Outlook: Recent Trends in Enlistment Propensity and Conversion of Potential Enlisted Supply (Orvis, Sastry, and McDonald, 1996) and other documents that will be forthcoming as part of this project. This research was conducted within the Manpower and Training Program, part of RAND's Arroyo Center, and within the Forces and Resources Policy Center, part of RAND's National Defense Research Institute. The Arroyo Center and the National Defense Research Institute are both federally funded research and development centers, the first sponsored by the United States Army and the second by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and the defense agencies.

Download or read book Military Attrition written by Mark E. Gebicke and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For at least a decade, about one-third of all military enlistees have failed to complete their initial terms of service -- a costly problem given that, according to GAO's calculations, the services spent $1.3 billion to recruit and train the 72,670 enlistees who entered the military in fiscal year 1993 but left before the end of their first term. In response to GAO's recommendations, the Defense Department (DOD) and the services have taken many steps to reduce attrition. The services are beginning to tie recruiter awards more closely to recruits' successful completion of basic training and to use better tools to select new recruiters. To improve the screening of applicants for service, DOD has revised its medical history forms, and the services have tried to make their preentry physical fitness programs more rigorous. DOD has also agreed to strengthen criminal background screening by recruiting full fingerprint checks and other technological improvements. DOD and the services need to vigilantly follow through on these actions and assess their effects. One of DOD's major efforts will take a long time to complete: the creation of a database on reasons for premature separation. In the meantime, DOD has made good progress toward creating databases on medical separations and on enlistment waivers. DOD has also just completed phase one of its effort to improve separation codes. Creating accurate data on why enlistees are leaving before the end of their first times will allow the services to craft successful policies to retain enlistees and allow DOD to set reasonable goals for reducing attrition.

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.

Download or read book MILITARY ATTRITION DoD Needs to Follow Through on Actions Initiated to Reduce Early Separations written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses work on the recruiting and attrition of the military services' enlisted personnel. At the request of a Congressional Subcommittee, the General Accounting Office (GAO) began a body of work in this area in 1995. Enlisted attrition is a complex problem, and many processes and people are involved in recruiting and retaining qualified enlisted personnel. Because of the complexity of this issue, GAO segmented the enlistment process into its component parts and issued separate reports on (1) recruiter selection and incentive systems and their effects on recruiter performance, (2) the screening of incoming recruits for criminal history information to ensure that only qualified persons are allowed to enlist, (3) reasons for attrition during the first 6 months of an enlistee's term, and (4) reasons for premature attrition after first-term enlistees have completed 6 months of service. Other products related to these issues are listed in appendix I. This report presents a summary of GAO's work to date and the status of the actions initiated by the Department of Defense (DOD) to improve recruiter and recruit quality and to reduce attrition. Keeping qualified enlisted personnel in the military has become even more crucial as the services' struggles to meet their recruiting goals have become even more intense in recent years.
