Improving Utilization of sailors with Critical Skills in Undermanned Ratings

Abstract

This thesis proposes and analyzes the effects of a new method of distributing Sailors with critical skills among undermanned ratings. It focuses on the distribution of Operations Specialists (OSs) on DDG 51 Flt I destroyers. OSs are known for being underutilized when in port and working longer hours than expected while deployed. The improved utilization of Sailors will result in a career path that supports work-life balance and eases the burden on recruiters to meet accession quotas.
