This book was released on 1997 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993, the Defense Planning Guidance for fiscal years 1998-2OO3 stated, for the first time, the strategic plan for the Department of Defense, including the department's mission, vision and six corporate goals. The President and the Secretary of Defense provide the general context for military strategic planning in the department through the National Security Strategy and its implementation guidance. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as the principal military adviser to the President, the National Security Council and the Secretary of Defense, presents his views on national strategy and policy to the National Security Council during the formulation process. He also presents the views of the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and of the combatant commanders. Based on the National Security Strategy and its implementation guidance, the Chairman then develops the National Military Strategy in coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The National Military Strategy contains the Chairman's recommendations to the President and the Secretary for the department's support of the national security objectives, including the fiscally constrained force structure required to accomplish those objectives. To formulate the National Military Strategy, the department currently uses two interrelated systems: the Joint Strategic Planning System and the planning phase of the planning, programming and budgeting system. Figure 1 shows a notional view of this planning process and its linkages to the subsequent programming phase.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are numerous studies, research reports, and theories that attempt to explain the complex behavior of people at work. They try to give managers prescriptions for the best way to manage an organization's human resources enabling them to achieve organizational ends. This section briefly introduces a number of motivational theories from the field of industrial and organizational psychology. The first set of theories, called content theories, focuses on the specific factors that motivate people. The second set of theories, the process theories, attempts to explain and describe how people start, direct, sustain and stop behavior. The discussion of these theories will be followed by examples of how they might be used to think about compensation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military compensation is a pillar of the all-volunteer force. It is a fundamental policy tool for attracting and retaining personnel, and its structure-and the incentives implied by its structure-can affect U.S. service members' willingness to join, exert effort, demonstrate their leadership potential, remain in the military, and, eventually, exit the military at an appropriate time. Military compensation is a composite of current pay and allowances, special and incentive pays, health benefits, disability benefits, retirement benefits, and other benefits. Its importance to the readiness and morale of the force is such that it is reviewed every four years to determine whether it is adequate to meet the U.S. military's objectives. To inform the 10th Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation, this monograph presents an in-depth examination of the mix and structure of the U.S. military's current retirement-benefit system and several policy alternatives. The study included the development of a model that was estimated and used to run a series of simulations based on active-duty and reserve personnel data to track the careers and potential decisionmaking of military personnel across the services. The simulation results were then assessed in terms of their cost-effectiveness and ability to meet the services' expectations for accession, retention, and career mobility.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compensation to service members is one of the largest components of the Department of Defense (DOD) budget. Its role in recruiting, retaining, and motivating the nation's uniformed services also makes it one of the most crucial elements of the budget. Without adequate compensation, the nation would be unable to sustain the all-volunteer force, in the size and with the skill set needed, to support the missions called for in the national security strategy. Today's demands on the force in operational theaters around the world, competition from the private sector in recruiting and retention, and changing interests of today's youth all demand robust action on the part of the uniformed services in attracting and sustaining their workforce. A critical tool in that endeavor is the compensation system. The Tenth Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation (10th QRMC), chartered by the President in August 2005, embarked on its review of the compensation system with the challenges of the current national security environment as context. It also considered the principles that should guide its efforts tenets against which its findings and recommendations would be evaluated and judged. The QRMC adopted four such principles to guide its analyses: 1. All-Volunteer 2. Flexible and Responsive 3. Strategic Best Value 4. Support Achievement of Strategic Objectives and Outcomes. These principles underpin a compensation system that must meet a wide range of essential and challenging force management goals. Against this background, the 10th QRMC focused its attention on seven compensation-related areas: 1. adequacy of compensation 2. special pays and bonuses 3. pay for performance 4. housing allowance 5. retirement system 6. health care 7. quality of life The first four topics are addressed in this volume, Volume 1, of the QRMC's report and are summarized below. The latter three will be covered in Volume 2.

Book excerpt: Military retirement reform has been a central element of the policy debate regarding why and how to restructure the system for compensating members of the U.S. armed forces. Concerns about the compensation system, and the retirement system specifically, include the rising cost of military compensation and the need for greater efficiency in the provision of compensation, the greater need for flexibility to reshape the force as missions change in ways that challenge the current compensation system, and issues related to the equity of military retirement benefits of active versus reserve personnel, junior versus senior personnel, and military personnel versus their civilian counterparts. Active members can claim retirement benefits before reservists can; junior members who leave prior to completing 20 years of service do not qualify for retirement benefits, unlike their more senior counterparts; and the 20-year vesting rule is outside the civilian vesting norm of 5-7 years of service, under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The 10th Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation (QRMC), building on previous studies and commission reports, including the 2006 report of the Defense Advisory Committee on Military Compensation (DoD, 2006) and the 2000 report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Human Resources Strategy, has proposed an alternative military retirement system that addresses concerns regarding the current system while still sustaining the force. The defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) plans are the foundation of the alternative system considered in this analysis. RAND was asked to develop a modeling capability to assess compensation alternatives, such as the QRMC proposal, in terms of their effects on military retention, retirement behavior, vesting, cost, reserve participation, and the value of compensation from the perspective of the member leaving active duty. This monograph presents the results of that study.

Book excerpt: Transforming the U.S. military's personnel management system is critical to long-run American national security interests, particularly as increasingly capable peer adversaries emerge. Talent management is critical to confronting these threats, particularly in an austere fiscal environment. This transformation cannot take place in a vacuum, however. As an extensive body of labor economics literature makes clear, total compensation management is an integral part of talent management. As the military changes the way it accesses, retains, develops, and employs its people, so, too, must it change the ways in which it compensates them. However, the current compensation system, rooted in industrial-era labor management practices, has outlived its usefulness. It is not linked to defined organizational outcomes, rests upon an ineffectual evaluation system, and does little to incentivize performance. Designed to complement an "up or out" personnel system that treats people as interchangeable parts, it has been rendered obsolete by dramatic changes in the American labor market, fiscal constraints, technological advances, and the changing nature of information age work. Using the Army's officer corps as a case study upon which a wider compensation model can be built, a system is proposed that integrates redesigned basic pays and pensions, "monetizes" nonpay benefits, and provides additional performance incentives in critical positions demanding organizational productivity. Audience: Personnel managers, human resources and benefits program department heads, military command leaders overseeing active duty commissioned officers, and armed forces reserve commands, plus compensation analysts, labor lobbyists, and economists may be interested in this work. Additionally military members interested in advancing in their military careers, Reserve personnel, and ROTC students may also have an interest in this work.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military compensation system includes a complex package of cash, deferred, and noncash benefits. In general, this system works effectively to attract and retain the high-quality personnel needed in the uniformed services of the 21st century. That said, there is room for improvement to increase the system's flexibility and better enable force managers to respond to changing requirements in support of national security missions. Improvements can also increase member choice, serving to enhance recruiting and retention efforts in the uniformed services. Volume 1 of the Report of the Tenth Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation (10th QRMC) covered cash compensation the single largest component of military compensation. This volume, Volume 2, builds upon that effort with the results of the QRMCs evaluation of deferred and noncash compensation an evaluation that examined military retirement, health care, and quality of life programs. Cash compensation accounts for almost half of service members compensation; deferred, or future, benefits another 31 percent; and noncash compensation, such as health care, educational benefits, and many quality of life programs, the remaining 21 percent. The combination of deferred and noncash compensation is significantly higher than what is typically seen in civilian compensation plans, where these elements account for only one third of employee compensation. As compensation tools, deferred and noncash (or in-kind) benefits present unique challenges to force managers seeking to optimize the use of compensation resources. They are less efficient, their value is less easily understood by military personnel and their families, and, at least in many cases in the current system, they are relatively inflexible.

This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal law mandates that every four years the Secretary of Defense conduct an assessment of the military compensation system, resulting in a Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation (QRMC). In response to this request articulated in Section 603 of the Senate Armed Services Committee version of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2019, the 13th QRMC is providing an assessment of the effects of a time-in-grade pay table for military personnel, particularly on readiness. A time-in-grade pay table would set pay based on pay grade and years of service within a grade, in contrast to the current time-in-service pay table, which sets pay based on pay grade and years of service inthe military.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research frames a strategic approach to reserve joint officer management that addresses the requirements for, and the supply of, joint officers in the reserve component, and also accounts for the unique constraints and challenges involved in joint officer management for reserve active-status list officers. Because the work required of many reservists is becoming increasingly joint, the need for a systematic examination of how reserve active-status list officers are trained and developed in joint matters is becoming more and more urgent-especially given the dramatic increase in the use of the reserve forces. A strategic approach to joint officer management for reserve active-status list officers must assess the need for officers with prior joint knowledge, experience, and acculturation in certain positions as well as their availability. The authors estimate the supply of joint reserve officers and make several recommendations to help implement a strategic approach to reserve component joint officer management.

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.
