Download or read book Attracting College bound Youth Into the Military written by Beth J. Asch and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 1999 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One popular program, the Montgomery GI Bill, enrolls large numbers of individuals, but the vast majority of service members use their benefits after separating from service. Thus, the military does not receive the benefits of a more educated and productive workforce, unless the individuals subsequently join a reserve component. The authors suggest the Department of Defense should consider nontraditional policy options to enhance recruitment of college-bound youth. Recruiters could target more thoroughly students on two-year college campuses, or dropouts from two- or four-year colleges. Options for obtaining some college before military service could be expanded by allowing high school seniors to first attend college, paid for by the military, and then enlist. Or the student might serve in a reserve component while in college and then enter an active component after college.
Download or read book Allocation of the Army s Monetary and Non Monetary Incentives Sensitivity to Goals Estimation Technique Delinkage Policy and ACF Army College Fund Actuarial Cost Assumptions written by Richard C. Morey and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study the sensitivity and robustness of the Enriched Enlistment Incentive Cost Allocation Model is examined in several respects. The model is used to investigate the effects of delinkage of Army College Fund (AFC) and enlistment bonuses (EB) options and the effect of guidance counselor reform. Results based on CY86 data confirm earlier cost-saving findings based on FY81-FY86 data. The model is exercised using active duty man-years rather than contracts as the manpower measure. The model suggests a somewhat different optimal mix of the ACF and EB options. The model is exercised using lower actuarial prices for the ACF option than those previously used. Results are as expected; the ACF option becomes more cost-effective. The model is re-estimated for each MOS separately rather than for 21 MOS's simultaneously. Loss in accuracy is very small, making use of the model on a personal computer feasible, thereby expanding the number of MOS's that can be examined. A program was installed at USAREC for this purpose.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) and the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, U.S. Army, sponsored a Conference on Army Manpower Economics in Williamsburg, Virginia, on December 5-7, 1984. With the military's growing interest in economic research and the usefulness of econometric analyses in addressing military manpower issues, it was appropriate to assemble senior Army policy makers, leading academicians, and other researchers to discuss Army manpower research and policy issues. The collection of articles presented in this volume is a direct outgrowth of that conference.

Download or read book Defense Health Care written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1993 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1989 the Department of Defense introduced its Corporate Information Management (CIM) initiative to reengineer its business practices and make better use of information technology. In May 1990, a Medical Functional Group was established within the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to institutionalize the CIM process within the Military Health Services System. This letter addresses our review of CIN's implementation in military health services--one of the eight functional areas selected for initial CIM implementation. At a time when health care costs are rising dramatically, CIM offers opportunities to reduce not only health care information technology expenses but, more important, the overall costs of providing care.

This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.

Download or read book A Model of U S Army Recruit Labor Supply written by Mark A. Wargelin and published by . This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis the author examines the military labor market and the effectiveness of the U.S. Army's enlistment bonuses and enhanced educational benefits of the Army College Fund on the recruit's labor decision. This paper reviews previous military manpower research and critically examines two recruit labor supply experiments the Multiple Option Recruiting Experiment of 1979, and the Educational Assistance Test Program of 1981. Microeconomic principles of utility maximization are used to model U.S. Army recruiter objectives and behavior as a constrained optimization of the recruiters' utility function subject to a labor supply or production possibility frontier constraint. The reduced form model is a simultaneous system of lagged equations which are estimated using a generalized least-squares technique. To evaluate the effectiveness of recruiting incentives, estimates are obtained of the elasticities of high- quality male enlistments with respect to the Army College Fund and the enlistment bonuses. The results show that these programs are successful in attracting high quality male recruits to achieve and maintain desired force levels.
Download or read book Military Education Benefits for College written by David J. Renza and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every branch of the American military provides opportunities for educational benefits and ways to attend college at either no cost or at a cost far below published tuition rates. No military member, veteran, or dependent should have to go through school without knowing what their benefits are or how to obtain them. 'Military Education Benefits for College' guides you in how to access, utilize, and take advantage of your benefits so you can earn the degree you deserve.As a retention non-commissioned officer in the Army National Guard, co-author David J. Renza witnessed firsthand how these education benefits were used as a bargaining tool to encourage people to enlist and/or remain in the military. He also discovered that the vast majority of military personnel, veterans, and their dependents are unaware of what is available to them, and where to find answers to their questions. They needed help.Co-author Lt. Col. Edmund J. Lizotte (Ret.), Director of the Military Program at Post University (and former commander of a recruiting battalion), reached the same conclusion. Lizotte encountered a large population of eligible personnel, many of whom had put off using their education benefits during their military careers. Those who tried to attend college often became confused and discouraged by the perplexing enrollment process required to obtain education benefits.Together, Renza and Lizotte have produced a comprehensive, readable, informative, and indispensable step-by-step guide into every facet of the education journey. From the enrollment process and the classroom experience to the procurement of benefits and determining which type of degree is right for which type of job, 'Military Education Benefits for College' sheds light on the experience of higher education for service-connected students. Their book also dispels myths about the college experience and offers insight from two former military members who have the unique perspective of military admissions counselors and veteran students still using their education benefits to this day.You have qualified on your weapon and you have passed your physical training test.
