Download or read book An Initial Look at the U S Air Force Aviation Professional Pay Proposal written by Michael G. Mattock and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force (USAF) has proposed Aviation Professional Pay (APP) as a replacement for Aviation Bonus (AvB) and Aviator Incentive Pay (AvIP). After an aviator completes the undergraduate pilot training active-duty service commitment, APP would be paid as long as the aviator is committed to a three-year service contract. A pilot would receive a single APP bonus, instead of AvIP and annual AvB, on top of monthly regular military compensation. APP would be tied to years of aviator service (YASs), starting in YAS 1 and continuing throughout the end of the career, with the monthly amount increasing with YAS through year 16 and decreasing slightly beginning in year 21. The USAF has proposed this alternative in part as a response to recent survey results that indicate that USAF aviators desire compensation without long-term commitments, and in part to treat aviation as a profession that recognizes the value of aviation experience. Simulations using RAND's dynamic retention model show that APP would increase overall force size relative to the current system with AvB capped at $35,000 if accessions are held constant but that the same increase in overall force size could be realized at less than one-quarter of the cost by raising the AvB cap to $43,000. APP is less efficient than the combination of AvB and AvIP. Thus, policymakers will need to carefully balance the appealing features of APP with the reduced cost-effectiveness and reduced ability to lock pilots into long-term contracts.

Download or read book Understanding Contemporary Air Power written by Viktoriya Fedorchak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to explain air power to both military and civilian audiences in an accessible manner, approaching the topic in a balanced and systematic way. The past 100 years illustrates that air power is an inevitable feature of any type of modern warfare. It has a key role to play in any of the three main operational environments: conventional (inter-state) wars, peace-support operations, and counterinsurgencies. This book examines the strengths and challenges of using air power in these situations, and each type of operation is explained using modern and historical examples, with an emphasis on the relevant lessons for the contemporary and future use of air power. The book also looks into the complexity of media coverage of air warfare and changes in the public perception of air power in recent years. The specifics of structuring national air forces is also discussed, along with the future of air power based on current trends. One of the enduring themes in the book is the necessity of inter-service and cross-domain integration, emphasizing the increasingly important role of cyber and space domains in the future of network-centric warfare. This book will be essential reading for students of air power and air warfare, and recommended reading for students of international security, strategic studies, defence studies, and foreign policy.
Download or read book The Dynamic Retention Model for Air Force Officers written by Michael G. Mattock and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force (USAF) needs accurate models to develop retention policies that ensure the force has a sufficient number of experienced officers to meet current and future requirements. The dynamic retention model (DRM) can be used to take into account the effect of the availability of multi-year contracts to certain classes of Air Force officers. Unlike the annualized cost of leaving (ACOL) model long used by researchers working on USAF personnel issues, the DRM takes into account the value an officer may place on future career flexibility in the face of uncertainty, and thus is particularly well suited to examining the effect of bonus programs that have service commitments, such as the Aviator Continuation Pay (ACP) program, which pays an annual bonus to pilots and certain groups of navigators and air battle managers who commit to extend their service for specified numbers of years or to a specified length of service.
Download or read book Strengthening U S Air Force Human Capital Management written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USAir Force human capital management (HCM) system is not easily defined or mapped. It affects virtually every part of the Air Force because workforce policies, procedures, and processes impact all offices and organizations that include Airmen and responsibilities and relationships change regularly. To ensure the readiness of Airmen to fulfill the mission of the Air Force, strategic approaches are developed and issued through guidance and actions of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management assesses and strengthens the various U.S. Air Force initiatives and programs working to improve person-job match and human capital management in coordinated support of optimal mission capability. This report considers the opportunities and challenges associated with related interests and needs across the USAF HCM system as a whole, and makes recommendations to inform improvements to USAF personnel selection and classification and other critical system components across career trajectories. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management offers the Air Force a strategic approach, across a connected HCM system, to develop 21st century human capital capabilities essential for the success of 21st century Airmen.
Download or read book Air Force Training written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO examined whether the Air Force is reducing the number of pilots in its force structure in the most cost-effective manner. GAO found that: (1) the Air Force is training more pilots than it needs for current cockpit assignments; (2) about one-half of the graduating pilots are temporarily assigned to nonflying positions for up to 3 years while waiting for advanced training; (3) the Air Force is incurring unnecessary costs of about $311 million or more for these nonflying pilots because of requalification training and aviation career incentive pay; (4) the Air Force does not receive the full benefit of pilot training because of the reduced time some pilots spend in flying positions during their careers; (5) during fiscal years (FY) 1991 and 1992, the Air Force delayed candidates from entering into its undergraduate pilot training (UPT) program, but it no longer does this because of the anticipated pilot shortage in FY 1995 and its desire to use the UPT infrastructure fully and ensure leadership development; (6) the Department of Defense expects to complete its analysis of a potential pilot shortage and other aviator personnel issues by December 1993; (7) pilot requirements could be met by nonflying pilots; and (8) the Air Force's plan to assign 500 UPT program candidates to flying positions may not effectively alleviate the problem of excess pilots.

Download or read book Cost Benefit Analysis of Special and Incentive Pays for Career Enlisted Aviators written by Patricia K. Tong and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To justify budgets for special and incentive (S&I) pays for career enlisted aviators (CEAs), the Air Force needs rigorous analyses on how to efficiently set S&I pays for CEAs to achieve and maintain required end strength. The authors of this report develop an analytic capability to calculate the efficient amount of S&I pays for CEAs, using RAND's Dynamic Retention Model to create separate models for each CEA specialty. They use these models to estimate the per capita cost for each CEA specialty under different policies to show the trade-offs between increasing accessions versus retaining more experienced CEAs for a given force size. They also calculate tipping-point values: the values that recruiting and training costs would need to reach in order for retaining more experienced CEAs using selective reenlistment bonuses (SRBs) to become more cost-effective than increasing accessions.

Book excerpt: Our Woke Military Could Lose the Next War Wokeness used to be an annoying distraction in the U.S. military. Now it is a major threat to national security. Faster than most of us thought possible, our military has become a woke, dysfunctional bureaucracy focused not on winning wars but on identity politics, gender ideology, climate change, and other favored causes of the leftist elite. Don’t think that China isn’t watching. Don’t think that Russia, Iran, and North Korea haven’t noticed. But so has Amber Smith, a former U.S. Army combat helicopter pilot and Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense. In her riveting new book, Unfit to Fight, she sounds the alarm that our military and our nation are at grave risk. In Unfit to Fight, you’ll learn: Why the military should not “reflect American society,” but be a select group of lethal professionals How the Pentagon rewards lowered standards for the sake of “diversity” Why failure often leads to promotion—if you have the right friends Why a return to combat merit, battlefield mission, and trust in leadership are essential—or we will lose our next war Elections, as they say, have consequences, and catastrophic damage to national security is among the most important. Amber Smith’s Unfit to Fight needs to be in the hands of everyone who cares about our military and our survival as a nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Setting the historical context for this book, this chapter describes the recent history of civilian veteran employment, relaying how the high military veteran unemployment rate in 2010 generated concern and reactions from the government and the public and the private sectors. It then provides examples of how government and companies worked together to improve the employment situation of military veterans through legislation, corporate hiring programs, and corporate partnerships but faced limited success because too few companies were involved. The current situation of veteran employment and retention is outlined, with examples provided of why military veterans may choose to leave civilian employment and suggestions offered to address the issues veteran employees may have in their jobs so that employers can do a better job of retaining them in their workforces"--

Book excerpt: "The Aggregate Lifecycle Effectiveness and Cost (ALEC) model enables managers of Air Force enlisted personnel to compare the cost-effectiveness of alternative management actions for a part of the force selected for analysis. Example actions are limits on the numbers of various types of enlistments, reenlistment bonuses designed to increase the number of persons making the Air Force a career, retraining programs that transfer personnel from one specialty to another, and the early-release program. This volume gives the theory and behavioral relationships used to build the model and gives cost-effectiveness results."--Rand Abstracts
