Modernizing Marine Corps Officer Manpower Processes in an Era of Great Power Competition
Abstract
Modernization of officer manpower systems serve to retain highly skilled individuals whom may otherwise separate due to feelings associated with improper use of his or her talents. An online talent marketplace serves to provide transparency to the officer assignments process, and lessens the information processing burden for monitors, allowing them to focus on customer service, vice mass data absorption. The Marine Corps can capitalize on successes made by the other Services in order to leap frog toward the latest manpower software systems. In addition to network-based approaches, the current WebMASS system can be revamped to include BICs. This allows officers to understand which billet they will fill prior to arrival to their next duty station. BIC alignment to officers biographical data also allows the monitor see the billets that the officers in his or her MOS population are filling. Naval integration is a cornerstone requirement within the CPG. As such, the Marine Corps will likely increase the number of Fleet billets, especially in the INDO-PACOM AOR. Re-nominating key naval staff assignments as OpFor within a revised Manning and Precedence Order, as well as widespread dissemination of the importance of these assignments serve to change the current officer career progression paradigm.
