This book was released on 2000 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The broad objective of the present study is to design an improved two-tiered classification system and to compare its classification efficiency to the current operational aptitude area (AA) system. The total data set includes about 260,000 recruits serving in 170 different entry-level MOS during 1987-1989. The set includes all available ASVAB/Skill Qualification Test (SQT) data for MOS with adequate sample sizes collected by ARI during this time frame. The proposed system to be evaluated in this study would use an invisible or black-box first tier in which separate assignment variables (AVs) are computed for up to 150 job families. The first tier AVs are to be used in assigning recruits to entry-level MOS. The second tier is used in recruiting, counseling and administration. The proposed system to be evaluated in the visible second tier uses up to 17 families. It is proposed that the aptitude area scores of the visible system be recorded on each soldier's personnel record. The principal finding of the present study is that the unbiased overall mean predicted performance (MPP) of the 150 job family structure is .195 compared to the MPP for the existing operational system of .023, a gain of more than eight fold. The unbiased overall MPP for the 17 job families is .146. The 17 family system is obtained by shredding the existing AA families within the boundaries of the operational classification families to maximize the Horst index. Findings continue to support an early differential assignment theory (DAT) principle that maximum MPP is obtainable by using AVs for all jobs having adequate or stable validity data. The results clearly demonstrate that considerable classification efficiency is potentially obtainable from the existing ASVAB if it is used in accordance with DAT principles."--DTIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Army currently employs nine Aptitude Area (AA) composites to classify new recruits; they are derived from the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) subtests in a manner that makes them easy to calculate but inefficient for classification. At the end of 2001 the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) will eliminate the two timed subtests in the ASVAB. This will reduce the classification efficiency of the existing Army composites and necessitate redefinition of the existing composites. In their place the Army is considering for adoption new composites that nave been developed by ARI based on a job performance criterion. ARI has developed a set of 17 operational classification-efficient job families and corresponding composites that would be used for administrative, counseling, and school proponent purposes. The new structure strongly resembles the existing structure, in effect being a further shredding of existing families. The new composites/job families are undergoing further testing and evaluation, and will be considered for implementation in the 2004-2005 period. In the meantime ARI has developed an interim set of composites that retain the existing nine operational job families but are also based on defensible job performance data. These will be implemented January 2002 while planning for the new 17 Army Aptitude Area composites goes forward."--DTIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at several troop categories based on primary function and analyzes the ratio between these categories to develop a general historical ratio. This ratio is called the Tooth-to-Tail Ratio. McGrath's study finds that this ratio, among types of deployed US forces, has steadily declined since World War II, just as the nature of warfare itself has changed. At the same time, the percentage of deployed forces devoted to logistics functions and to base and life support functions have increased, especially with the advent of the large-scale of use of civilian contractors. This work provides a unique analysis of the size and composition of military forces as found in historical patterns. Extensively illustrated with charts, diagrams, and tables.

Download or read book Use of Services for Family Planning and Infertility United States 1982 written by Gerry E. Hendershot and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 982 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1982 statistics on the use of family planning and infertility services presented in this report are preliminary results from Cycle III of the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. Data were collected through personal interviews with a multistage area probability sample of 7969 women aged 15-44. A detailed series of questions was asked to obtain relatively complete estimates of the extent and type of family planning services received. Statistics on family planning services are limited to women who were able to conceive 3 years before the interview date. Overall, 79% of currently mrried nonsterile women reported using some type of family planning service during the previous 3 years. There were no statistically significant differences between white (79%), black (75%) or Hispanic (77%) wives, or between the 2 income groups. The 1982 survey questions were more comprehensive than those of earlier cycles of the survey. The annual rate of visits for family planning services in 1982 was 1077 visits /1000 women. Teenagers had the highest annual visit rate (1581/1000) of any age group for all sources of family planning services combined. Visit rates declined sharply with age from 1447 at ages 15-24 to 479 at ages 35-44. Similar declines with age also were found in the visit rates for white and black women separately. Nevertheless, the annual visit rate for black women (1334/1000) was significantly higher than that for white women (1033). The highest overall visit rate was for black women 15-19 years of age (1867/1000). Nearly 2/3 of all family planning visits were to private medical sources. Teenagers of all races had higher family planning service visit rates to clinics than to private medical sources, as did black women age 15-24. White women age 20 and older had higher visit rates to private medical services than to clinics. Never married women had higher visit rates to clinics than currently or formerly married women. Data were also collected in 1982 on use of medical services for infertility by women who had difficulty in conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term. About 1 million ever married women had 1 or more infertility visits in the 12 months before the interview. During the 3 years before interview, about 1.9 million women had infertility visits. For all ever married women, as well as for white and black women separately, infertility services were more likely to be secured from private medical sources than from clinics. The survey design, reliability of the estimates and the terms used are explained in the technical notes.
