RAND Research on Miltary Recruiting

Abstract

Recruiting for the U.S. Air Force (USAF) and other military services has never been easy, but today, it is increasingly complex. The Department of the Air Force (DAF) is seeking more diversity and more technical knowledge in its recruits at the same time the pool of eligible candidates who have a desire to serve is shrinking. As the USAF works to recruit the right candidates, RAND Corporation research offers a host of lessons learned. This document highlights relevant research from RAND Project AIR FORCE (PAF), as well as research conducted for other service branches and the Office of the Secretary of Defense that may be applicable to DAF recruiting efforts.
