Abstract:
A key objective of the military's compensation and personnel systems is to attract, retain, promote, and motivate high-quality personnel in the armed services. This monograph summarizes research that uses data on enlisted personnel who entered the military between fiscal year 1978 (FY78) and FY92 and tracks their careers through FY96 to describe the quality of personnel who have entered, reenlisted, stayed through midcareer, and were promoted. The analysis uses three quality measures, two based on entry characteristics (the Armed Forces Qualification Test [AFQT] score and high school diploma status), and one that exploits first-term promotion to infer quality as revealed on the job. The analysis sought to identify whether higher quality personnel stayed in service and were more likely to reach senior leadership positions in the 1980s and first half of the 1990s. The report should be of interest to those concerned about the quality of personnel in the armed forces.
