Alignment of U.S. Space Force Military Human Capital Management Functions: A Qualitative Review
Abstract
The U.S. Space Force (USSF) is the nation's newest military service and therefore has a rare opportunity to revolutionize military human capital management (HCM). The service is placing considerable emphasis on pushing the boundaries of traditional approaches to HCM and adopting innovative approaches to talent management. Recognizing that an organizations structure creates a framework for effective and efficient mission execution, the USSF deputy chief human capital officer(deputy S1) asked RAND Project AIR FORCE to assess the alignment and effectiveness of HCM functions at all organizational levels. This report presents the results of that assessment. The primary audience for this report is individuals involved in developing and implementing policies and procedures for HCM. A wide variety of senior USSF leaders in other specialties will also be interested in this report.The research reported here was commissioned by the USSF and conducted within the Workforce, Development, and Health Program of RAND Project AIR FORCE as part of a fiscal year 2023 project, Analysis of Barriers to the U.S. Space Force Talent Management Transformation.
