The KC-10 Divestment, Personnel Movement Plan

Abstract

The KC-10 officer force currently lacks information on the personnel flow process during an aircraft divestment and an assignment strategy that recommends a course that fulfills both individual officer development and future KC-10 operational mission needs. The objective of this research is to cover two specific areas. The first area aims to provide an education on how the personnel execution flow of a Programming Plan during an aircraft divestment effects officer movement. The second area aims to provide validated assignment guidance to the KC-10 personnel stakeholders during the divestment of the KC-10. Additionally, talent management practices will be applied in the provided guidance to derive better value from and for our officers by applying multiple paths of development and investment in their growth. In order to gain an in-depth understanding of personnel movement during an aircraft divestment the research accomplished a case study comprised of multiple research methods. The case study design applied an iterative approach that included a review of historical documents and interviews paired with direct observations that were analyzed using Creswell's Data Spiral and a thematic analysis to discover emerging themes from the data to enable an educational foundation and recommendations for the occurrence under study.
