Short Tour Rotation Indices for Identifying Airman Overseas Skill Imbalance.

Abstract

This report describes a methodology developed for identifying and predicting imbalanced Air Force specialties. A specialty is imbalanced if its airmen are not allowed at least a 24-month interval between involuntary short tours, or are required to serve more than two involuntary short tours during a 20-year career. The method produces an index for each specialty indicating its balance/imbalance status. Also, a procedure is included which reduces the number of imbalanced specialties by simulating the movement of surplus airmen from balanced to imbalanced specialties. (Author)
