Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the supply of and demand for pilots and addresses the questions of whether future shortages will become widespread, not confined to just one military service; whether shortages would affect both active and reserve components; and what might be done to alleviate a shortage problem. This report focuses on military pilots in the active Air Force, the Air Reserve Component, the Navy, and the Naval Air Reserve. It outlines the historical trends in accessions, retention, and transfer rates of pilots between the active and reserve forces. It also discusses the current, and changing, requirements for pilots in both military and civilian life. Finally, it discusses the current personnel and training policies used to manage pilot accessions and retention and offers some thoughts on how effective these will be in light of changing requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The services are undergoing a fundamental reshaping and restructuring, driven by the demands of a new era of tighter fiscal constraints, new security challenges, new technology, and increased reliance, in some services, on the reserve component. As they are positioning themselves in this new environment and drawing down, the services find themselves constraining accessions, encouraging voluntary departures, and imposing involuntary separations. There is considerable uncertainty as to what these actions bode for the future in terms of supply and demand of personnel and the sustainability of the required force. Despite the current environment of pilot overages, the Air Force projected, in 1992, a shortage of pilots, beginning in FY1993 and widening to a 3,000 pilot shortfall by FY1997. Faced with this seeming contradiction of a shortage in the midst of a drawdown, the Office of the Secretary of Defense asked RAND to undertake a comprehensive assessment of these issues. This documented briefing examines the supply and demand for pilots in the near term and the somewhat longer term (through FY2002). One of the major contributions of the briefing is the development of conceptual models that allow estimates of inventory and requirements even in changing and uncertain environments. In particular, the report addresses the following questions: (1) What are the historical personnel trends for pilots in terms of accessions, retention, and transfer rates between the active and reserve forces?; (2) What are the current requirements for pilots and are they changing and why?; (3) What are the current personnel and training policies used to manage and shape pilot accessions and retention, and how effective will they be in sustaining active and reserve structures in the light of changing requirements and the changing environment?; and (4) What is the effect of civilian airline demand on the military, and what impact will it have on the sustainability of the military pilot force?

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.

SLED DRIVER takes the reader through riveting accounts of the rigors of initial training, the gamut of emotions experienced while flying over hostile territory, & the sheer joy of displaying the jet at some of the world's largest airshows. Illustrated with rare photographs, seen here for the first time, SLED DRIVER captures the mystique & magnificence of this most unique of all aircraft.

Download or read book Fighter Pilot written by Christina Olds and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2010-04-13 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fighter Pilot is the memoir of legendary ace American fighter pilot and general officer in the U.S. Air Force, Robin Olds. Robin Olds was a larger-than-life hero with a towering personality. A graduate of West Point and an inductee in the National College Football Hall of Fame for his All-American performance for Army, Olds was one of the toughest college football players at the time. In WWII, Olds quickly became a top fighter pilot and squadron commander by the age of 22—and an ace with 12 aerial victories. But it was in Vietnam where the man became a legend. He arrived in 1966 to find a dejected group of pilots and motivated them by placing himself on the flight schedule under officers junior to himself, then challenging them to train him properly because he would soon be leading them. Proving he wasn't a WWII retread, he led the wing with aggressiveness, scoring another four confirmed kills, becoming a rare triple ace. Olds, who retired a brigadier general and died in 2007, was a unique individual whose personal story presents one of the most eagerly anticipated military books in recent memory.
