The Institution of Praporshchiks and Michmen: Developments and Prospects.
Abstract
In this paper the author examines the development of the institution of praporshchiks and michmen (institut praporshchikov i michmanov -- cadres of professional noncommissioned personnel) in the Soviet Armed Forces from 1971 through January, 1976. Attention is given to the status of praporshchiks and michmen, and to the methods of their selection, training and utilization, in an effort to evaluate the impact of the program on resolution of the junior cadre retention problem. The author maintains that the program will have only minor lasting impact on retention, and that as presently constituted and administered it does not represent, on the whole, a qualitatively new category of cadre personnel.
