That is, funded officer manpower authorizations (or billets) are unfilled. When this occurs, orga- nizational performance and mission readiness can suffer. The RAND Corporation was asked to determine whether the “personnel fill” of funded but vacant military manpower billets could be improved (or at least not degraded) through the use of alternative mixes of military manpower categories, thereby improving organizational performance while possibly also mini- mizing the cost of manpower. This report reviews particular selected occupations in each of the services, considers extant Department of Defense (DoD) military manpower policy, and assesses alternative mixes of military manpower against criteria developed to determine feasi- bility. The report should be of interest to the military manpower community. Comments are welcome and may be sent to Roland J. Yardley at [email protected] or to Harry J. Thie at [email protected].

Feaver, Supervisor ___________________________ David Soskice ___________________________ Christopher Gelpi ___________________________ Tim Büthe ___________________________ Alexander B. Downes An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 2007 Copyright by Lindsay P. Cohn 2007 Abstract Contemporary militaries depend on volunteer soldiers capable of dealing with advanced technology and complex missions. An important factor in the successful recruiting, retention, and employment of quality personnel is the set of personnel policies which a military has in place. It might be assumed that military policies on personnel derive solely from the functional necessities of the organization’s mission, given that the stakes of military effectiveness are generally very high. Unless the survival of the state is in jeopardy, however, it will seek to limit defense costs, which may entail cutting into effectiveness. How a state chooses to make the tradeoffs between effectiveness and economy will be subject to influences other than military necessity.

    Armed Forces Retirement Home Communicator Gulfport, MS & Washington, DC VOLUME XVII NUMBER 12 DECEMBER 31, 2020 AFRH-WASHINGTON AFRH residents receive COVID-19 vaccinations D.C., Gulfport campuses prioritized by DoD for protection from virus By Christopher Kelly | AFRH Public Affairs Officer Photos by Carolyn Haug and Becki L. Zschiedrich Just days after federal regulators authorized emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, AFRH residents, staff and contractors received some of the first inoculations in the United States. At the direction of the Department of Defense (DoD), on Monday, December 21, medical personnel from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. began administering the vaccines at AFRH-Washington (W), D.C., while medical personnel from Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Miss. did the same at AFRH-Gulfport (G), Miss. At AFRH-W, Chief Executive Officer Stephen T. Rippe received the first vaccination – and served as a reminder to our community that the inoculation is safe, effective and the right thing to do. “The fact that our residents, staff and contractors are getting vaccinated is a wonderful step forward,” he said. “And we are really thankful to DoD for giving us this support for getting the vaccine. I encourage everyone to get vaccinated.” At AFRH-Washington, the first vaccinated residents were both World War II veterans. Norma Rambow, 97, said it was a “privilege and an opportunity” to take part, and Rafael Lopez, 93, said it “went real well – I’m glad I got it!” At AFRH-Gulfport U.S. Air Force veteran Larry McAnally said, “I’m glad to get it.

    GuidelineSocial Customs Series and Traditions of the Sea Services A 5 M 96 ent ce 1 oring LifeLine Sin Naval Services FamilyLine Our mission is to empower our sea service families to meet the challenges of a military lifestyle with information, resources, and mentoring. óóóóó Naval Services FamilyLine is a volunteer, non-profit organization founded in 1965 by Navy wives who recognized the value of an engaged and informed Navy family. Their aim was to provide resources and mentoring to increase every spouse’s understanding of the Navy’s mission. These Navy wives had the foresight to see the need for spouse and family support and they provided the groundwork for what has developed into a relied upon worldwide information and support network. Formerly known as the Navy Wifeline Association, the Naval Services FamilyLine name was adopted in September 1999 to reflect the changing face of today’s sea services. The founding spouses established an office at the Washington Navy Yard and published a quarterly newspaper, providing information and assistance to spouses who were moving overseas. Today, utilizing a variety of methods and resources, the organization provides information and spouse mentorship on topics as widely varying as emergency preparedness to naval customs and traditions. From convenient printed publications to week long courses for the spouses of active duty leadership, their goal is a successful Navy family. With the support of Navy leadership world-wide, along with financial backing from the Navy League, spouse clubs, Navy family advocates, corporations, and dedicated individuals, Naval Services FamilyLine has continued to grow and flourish.
