 | This project studied the incorporation of military occupational data into a generic human performance modelling software, the Integrated Performance Modelling Environment (IPME). It has explored the use of modelling and simulation (M&S) for addressing the CF personnel and manpower issues. Particularly, a set of Canadian Air Force occupational specification data were integrated into IPME. This reported study documents our effort to validate this new modelling capability. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ... |

| What the Marine Corps is currently asking its Marines to accomplish is impossible. Every day, Marines throughout the Corps are asked to take on more training at the expense of maintaining proficiency in their own military occupational specialty (MOS). The Marine Corps must eliminate extraneous annual and pre-deployment training requirements to allow Marines to attain proficiency with new technologies and maintain enduring MOS proficiency. The Marine Corps has too many ... |

| Since its inception over 50 years ago, the Air Force specialty-classification structure has had only one major overhaul--in 1993. Yet, the Air Force has changed dramatically. It is smaller. Its people are more educated and experienced. Its missions have continued to evolve. Given the evolving missions, changing workforce, and changing nature of work, several senior Air Force leaders are asking whether the existing specialty codes provide the correct blend or ... |

| Army Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs) for enlisted Soldiers are categorized by their relative level of physical demands. This report compares injury rates among common MOSs stratified by light, moderate and heavy levels of physical job demands. As hypothesized, unadjusted odds for experiencing an injury hospitalization increased with increasing level of physical demand. On-duty serious accidents (those resulting in an injury hospitalization) also occurred more frequently among Soldiers in heavy demands ... |

The backbone of Marine Corps artillery are the 0811 Cannoneers, the Marines who have historically operated the howitzers night and day, rain or shine, to provide the fire support needed by maneuver units. For the last 20 years, a cannoneer's job has been fairly straightforward: employ the M198 155mm Medium Towed artillery piece in accordance with the technical manual. However, ... |

| The Marine Corps uses its Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) Program to influence Marines to reenlist for a designated term into certain Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs) to reach planned manpower goals. The bonus amount is determined by selecting an "SRB multiplier" for each combination of MOS and Zone (MOSZ), where "Zone" corresponds to length of service. A higher multiplier means a larger bonus and leads to a higher percentage of Marines ... |

| Efficient allocation of reenlistment bonuses requires the ability to estimate the effect that the bonus will have on reenlistments in an occupational specialty. Previous research, conducted in developing the SRB Management System, estimated the effects of SRB on Zone A, B and C reenlistment decisions made between FY1990 and FY2OOO. In this analysis, we extend the years analyzed to include FY2001 through FY2004. The additional years of data include Operation ... |

| In September 2004, the active-duty enlisted component of the United States Air Force consisted of about 298,000 airmen. These airmen performed duties in about 200 specialties. Because the relationships between job requirements and personnel management policies are so complex, dedicated enlisted strength managers have never matched the inventory of people, by Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) and grade, to manpower requirements. There are structural obstacles that impede achieving this goal. ... |

| The research goal was to optimize Army-Navy/Portable Special Search (AN/PSS)-14 mine detector operator training duration and content. Results from training observations and analysis of Soldiers learning progression curves indicated that AN/PSS-14 operators who certified through the course were not adequately skilled. Results also showed that the operators learned little with regard to ground-penetrating radar (GPR) use and consequently were not confident in discriminating mines and clutter.

| The hospitalization rate for injuries varies widely across U.S. Navy enlisted occupations. Logic suggests that this variation is related to occupational demands. Previous research shows that higher accident rates occur in occupations that demand physical exertion and fast reaction times. However, the estimated effects of those demands may have been biased by the omission of other important contributors to accidents. The goal of this study was to construct a complete ... |
