Download or read book Quality of Soldiers written by Joel Slackman and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looks at the costs and benefits to the Army of varying levels of recruit quality in 1986, which had advanced considerably. In FY 1985, 90% held high school diplomas, up 40% points from the low point of 1980. Scores on aptitude tests showed comparable improvement. But concern has arisen over the Army¿s ability to sustain such success -- let alone recruit even higher quality in coming years -- at an acceptable cost. Contents: (1) Intro. and Background: The Recruiting System; What Is Quality?; (2) Prospects for Recruiting; (3) The Costs of High Quality: The Army¿s Program; (4) The Relationship of Quality to Performance; (5) Alternatives to the Army¿s Program. Appendixes: Calculating Productivity and Cost; Occupational Descriptions; Projections.

Download or read book Costs and Benefits of Quality Soldiers A Critical Review of the CBO Report Quality Soldiers Costs of Manning the Active Army written by Juri Toomepuu and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document reviews the CBO report and its cost-effectiveness and productivity measures, the assumptions about productivity and the effects of bonuses and military pay on Army enlistments, and the conclusions drawn. The critique finds the cost-effectiveness and productivity measures used, as well as elasticities of resources, inappropriate, and provides alternates which lead to different conclusions. Although recruitment of high quality youth is costly, quality manpower is cost-effective from a larger perspective. The critique also pointed out that many hidden and incommensurable costs were not addressed by the CBO, and concludes that the program proposed by the CBO would substantially lower the Army's combat- and cost-effectiveness.
Download or read book Costs of Military Pay and Benefits in the Defense Budget written by CBo and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compensation of military personnel takes up asubstantial portion of the nation's defense budget. In its fiscal year 2013 budget request, for example, the Department of Defense (DoD) requested about $150 billion to fund the pay and benefits of current and retired members of the armed services. As in most recent years, thatamount was more than one-quarter of DoD's total base budget request (the request for all funding other than for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and for related activities-often called overseas contingency operations).The compensation request involved four majorareas:- Current cash compensation for service members, consisting of basic pay, food and housing allowances, bonuses, and various types of special pay;- Accrual payments that account for the future cash compensation of current service members in the form of pensions for those who will retire from the military (generally after at least 20 years of service);- Accrual payments that account for the future costs of health care for current service members (under a program called TRICARE for Life) who will retire from the military and also become eligible forMedicare (generally at age 65); and- Funding for current spending under the militaryhealth care program (known as TRICARE), excluding the costs of caring for current military retirees who also are eligible for Medicare (the latter costs are covered by the accrual payments made in earlier years, just described).In all, about 1.4 million active-duty military personnel and about 1.1 million members of the reserves and National Guard receive current cash compensation, the largest part of compensation in DoD's budget. Cash compensation for members of the reserves and National Guard goes mainly to the 840,000 members of the Selected Reserve-service members who are assigned to and train regularly with standing units. Second in totalcost to current cash compensation, military health benefits are available to nearly 10 million people: active-duty military personnel and their eligible family members, retired military personnel and their eligible family members, survivors of service members who died while on active duty, and certain members of the reserves and National Guard.This report does not consider the costs of the benefits provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)- about $130 billion in that department's 2013 budget request. Those benefits include health care for veteranswith service-connected disabilities and for veterans who meet certain other eligibility criteria. Other VA benefits include monthly cash payments that compensate for service-connected disabilities and GI Bill benefits that reimburse some of the costs of higher education.This report also does not consider the costs of pay and benefits for DoD's roughly 790,000 full-time-equivalent civilian employees, other than for the 60,000 who are assigned to the military health care system and whose compensation contributes to the estimate of the total cost of delivering military health care.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Note updates a series of reports by the Department of Defense (DOD) Comptroller's Office that contained cost estimates for military and civil service personnel, per manyear and by paygrade. The Note presents basic estimates of how the DOD budget would be affected by manning changes, then adjusts the estimates for differences between the DOD's budget effects and effects on the federal government's requirements for financing from the civilian sector. Cost effects associated with the use of individual manyears of military or civilian labor are distinguished from effects associated with changing personnel inventory flow patterns that support the change in use. The Note provides data for fiscal year 1986, and also describes estimation procedures that could be used to update the data on a regular basis.

Book excerpt: From the earliest days of the republic, America's Armed Forces have been compensated by military pay, commonly known as "basic pay."While the original pay structure was quite simple and straightforward, over time a complex system of pay, allowances, incentives, and bonuses has evolved. With the advent of the all-volunteer force in 1973, Congress has used military pay and its associated allowances to improve recruiting, retention, and the overall quality of the force. This book addresses the role of military pay in manning the Armed Forces, the types of pay increases used in the past, recent reforms in managing pay, and the role of the Employment Cost Index in determining pay increases.

Book excerpt: Under hensyn til, at en stor procentdel af det militære budget er personel-orienteret, foreslår forfatterne en omvurdering af den forestilling, at ungdom og styrke er primære kvalifikationer i tjenesten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fiscal year 2013, the Department of Defense (DoD) requested about $150 billion to fund the pay and benefits of current and retired members of the military. That amount is more than one-quarter of DoD's total base budget request (the request for all funding other than for military operations in Afghanistan and related activities). Of DoD's $150 billion request for compensation in 2013, more than $90 billion would go to basic pay, food and housing allowances, bonuses, and various types of special pay. Another $16 billion would go to accrual payments that account for the future pensions of current service members who will retire from the military (generally after at least 20 years of service). The remainder of DoD's request for compensation in 2013, roughly $40 billion, would cover health benefits.
Download or read book Comparing the Costs of DoD Military and Civil Service Personnel written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the Department of Defense (DoD) there is increasing interest in identifying ways to save costs while minimizing impact on force effectiveness. Civilianization-the transfer of functions performed by military personnel to civil service personnel-is a frequently discussed way to do this for two main reasons: (1) Military members are being moved in and out of jobs frequently, so there is high turnover as well as high training costs. (2) Military members do not spend 100 percent of their time performing a certain function; they also have training requirements and other duties. Although conventional wisdom suggests that civil service workers are cheaper than their military counterparts, there has been little analysis of this issue.
