Book excerpt: "This report describes research conducted to improve the Army's ability to use recruiting resources and enlistment eligibility policies effectively to meet enlisted accession requirements under good, average, and bad recruiting conditions. We consider the cost of meeting accession requirements when an optimal mix of television advertising and enlistment incentives is feasible (the baseline strategy) or when an incentive-centric strategy -- which favors incentives over other resources due to incentives' faster rate of increasing recruits -- is required"--Publisher's web site.
Download or read book Military Recruiting DoD Services Need Better Data to Enhance Visibility over Recruiter Irregularities written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The viability of the All Volunteer Force (AVF) depends, in large measure, on the Department of Defense's (DOD) ability to successfully recruit several hundred thousand qualified individuals each year to fill over 1,400 occupational specialties. Since the March 2003 involvement of U.S. military forces in Iraq, attracting sufficient numbers of high-quality recruits to military service has proven to be one of the greatest personnel challenges faced by DOD since the inception of the AVF. The active Army, the Army Reserve, and the Navy Reserve, for example, failed to meet their fiscal year 2005 recruiting goals. Recruitment of high-quality personnel is a tough proposition, made even more challenging in the current environment when the nation is engaged in combat operations. To exacerbate the recruitment challenges further, DOD estimates that over half of the youth in the U.S. population between the ages of 16 and 21 do not meet the minimum requirements to enter military service. Moreover, additional factors such as the shrinking numbers of new recruits in delayed entry programs and the Army Army's use of stop loss, which delays servicemembers from leaving active duty, indicate that the components may experience continued recruiting challenges as they attempt to meet their personnel requirements. To help overcome recruiting challenges, the military services during the past several years have assigned roughly 20,000 recruiters to manage their recruiting programs and achieve their accession goals.
Download or read book Difficulties in Selected Army Reserves Recruiting Under the All volunteer Force written by United States. General Accounting Office and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recruiting of the Nation's selected Reserves has changed since the draft ended in 1972. A steady decline in the numbers of Selected Army Reserve and Army National Guard recruits is increasing the gap between reserve troop requirements and strength. The Army's recruiting plans have been directed at overcoming these shortages. In addition, there has been a decline in recruit quality and an increase in turnover rates. The quality of non-prior-service recruits as defined by the Department of Defense (DOD) has also changed since the All-Volunteer Force replaced the draft. DOD has taken or is considering numerous actions to improve Selected Reserves recruiting such as increasing the number of full-time recruiters, increasing advertising funds, and introducing enlistment and reenlistment bonuses. In addition, there are several proposals and tests under way to attract new recruits and to reduce turnover. Many of the proposals and tests are directed towards the high quality male with no prior military service.

Download or read book Attitudes Aptitudes and Aspirations of American Youth written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recruiting an all-volunteer military is a formidable task. To successfully enlist one eligible recruit, the Army must contact approximately 120 young people. The National Research Council explores the various factors that will determine whether the military can realistically expect to recruit an adequate fighting force-one that will meet its upcoming needs. It also assesses the military's expected manpower needs and projects the numbers of youth who are likely to be available over the next 20 years to meet these needs. With clearly written text and useful graphics, Attitudes, Aptitudes, and Aspirations of American Youth offers an overview of important issues for military recruiters, touching on a number of important topics including: sex and race, education and aptitude, physical and moral attributes, and military life and working conditions. In addition, the book looks at how a potential recruit would approach the decision to enlist, considering personal, family, and social values, and the options for other employment or college. Building on the need to increase young Americans' "propensity to enlist," this book offers useful recommendations for increasing educational opportunities while in the service and for developing advertising strategies that include concepts of patriotism and duty to country. Of primary value to military policymakers, recruitment officers, and analysts, Attitudes, Aptitudes, and Aspirations of American Youth will also interest social scientists and policy makers interested in youth trends.
Download or read book A Framework for Army Reserve Recruiting Analysis written by Harvey C. Denison and published by . This book was released on 2003-06-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of U.S. Army Reserve recruiting is conducted across the U.S. Army with data from the Recruit Quota System (REQUEST) . A combination of partial manual data entry and a decided lack of tools for large scale data extraction make REQUEST difficult to use for analysis without an extensive knowledge of the system. In this thesis, I develop a process for screening, preparing, and evaluating REQUEST data for subsequent analysis. This process uses data mining software to progressively work through a series of rules that outline data inconsistencies, mark these records for exclusion and later investigation, and generate a "clean" dataset for analysis. I examine enlistments over a four year period with respect to Military Occupational Specialty and training program structure. Data from the Army Training Requirements and Resource System (ATRRS) are used to provide an overview of Initial Entry Training seat quotas and usage, and to confirm and/or update training dates in the REQUEST dataset. The joint examination of enlistments and training seats provides new insights into enlistment patterns. Additional analysis is possible using demographic data provided by the U.S. Army Recruiting Command. I provide summaries of a few key demographic variables for various subsets of the enlistees, and discuss how similar analyses might prove useful for targeting recruiting efforts and incentives more effectively. Good decisions require good data. This thesis is a start in providing a framework for generating quality USAR accession data for analysis.

Download or read book Reserve Recruiting and the College Market written by Beth J. Asch and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2005 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of the active and reserve components in meeting their national defense missions is contingent on their ability to attract and retain high-quality personnel. Recruiting for the active components has become more challenging as the proportion of high school graduates seeking to attend college directly after high school has increased. Studies of active duty recruiting find that potential high-quality recruits view military service as a substitute for college attendance, not a complement. In an effort to make military service more complementary with college attendance, the active components have enhanced existing educational benefit programs and experimented with new enlistment programs in which enlistees attend college first and serve on active duty second. How the heightened interest in college attendance among American youth has impacted reserve recruiting is less clear. In general, reservists can and do attend college while serving in the Reserves. Some potential recruits, however, may wish to pursue college more intensively than is permitted by a reserve career, especially when one considers the increasing likelihood that a reservist's academic studies will be interrupted by activation. The RAND Corporation was asked to assess whether new programs, such as those offered by some active components, would help the reserve components meet their current and future recruiting goals with respect to high-quality non-prior and prior service recruits. The findings of this project, entitled "Reserve Recruiting and the College Market," are reported in this document. The report is intended to inform policy makers and should be of interest to researchers and policy analysts concerned with military recruiting.
Download or read book Army Recruiting Resourcing System written by Jeff Barnes and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Recruiting Command's (USAREC) ability to recruit new soldiers in the quantity and with the quality required to sustain the Regular Army and the Army Reserve depends upon its ability to adjust to changes in the marketplace. Numerous studies have established that the supply of recruits is inversely related to employment opportunities in the civil sector, and, in varying degrees, directly related to the amount of resources employed in the recruiting function. Matching resources against market difficulty is a continuing management function. This report describes the development and operation of a prototype recruiting resourcing system. The system consists of two parts: (1) A Recruiting Difficulty Index (REDIN) times-series model to assist USAREC in forecasting changes in its recruiting market; and, (2) A spreadsheet-based Recruiting Resourcing System (RRS) that integrates the forecasted market conditions from REDIN with the resource requirement needed to achieve USAREC's mission. The REDIN Forecasting Model is the first econometric model that obtained plausible and significant coefficients for all major recruiting resource elements. With the exception of enlistment bonuses, all variables were directly linked to budget elements in RRS.
Download or read book Assessing Fitness for Military Enlistment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-02-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) faces short-term and long-term challenges in selecting and recruiting an enlisted force to meet personnel requirements associated with diverse and changing missions. The DoD has established standards for aptitudes/abilities, medical conditions, and physical fitness to be used in selecting recruits who are most likely to succeed in their jobs and complete the first term of service (generally 36 months). In 1999, the Committee on the Youth Population and Military Recruitment was established by the National Research Council (NRC) in response to a request from the DoD. One focus of the committee's work was to examine trends in the youth population relative to the needs of the military and the standards used to screen applicants to meet these needs. When the committee began its work in 1999, the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force had recently experienced recruiting shortfalls. By the early 2000s, all the Services were meeting their goals; however, in the first half of calendar year 2005, both the Army and the Marine Corps experienced recruiting difficulties and, in some months, shortfalls. When recruiting goals are not being met, scientific guidance is needed to inform policy decisions regarding the advisability of lowering standards and the impact of any change on training time and cost, job performance, attrition, and the health of the force. Assessing Fitness for Military Enlistment examines the current physical, medical, and mental health standards for military enlistment in light of (1) trends in the physical condition of the youth population; (2) medical advances for treating certain conditions, as well as knowledge of the typical course of chronic conditions as young people reach adulthood; (3) the role of basic training in physical conditioning; (4) the physical demands and working conditions of various jobs in today's military services; and (5) the measures that are used by the Services to characterize an individual's physical condition. The focus is on the enlistment of 18- to 24-year-olds and their first term of service.
