PROPOSALS FOR AN ALL REGULAR OFFICER FORCE AS AN AID TO PROCUREMENT AND RETENTION OF QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IN THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE CAREER OFFICER CORPS.

Abstract

The study is intended to identify the dual structure of the present United States Air Force officer corps as a negative factor to career motivation within the body of junior officers serving their initial obligated tour of active duty. The thesis set forth argues that an all regular force, that procurement sources limited to programs designed to prepare selected portions of the nation's young men and women for the career force, and that a realistic program of inculcation and orientation toward a career commitment will alleviate the retention problem which plagues the Air Force.
