Marine Corps and Navy Manpower: Requirements and Considerations. Report of a Conference Held at Leesburg, Virginia on March 5-7, 1978.
Abstract
During March 5-7, 1978, the Office of NAVAL Research sponsored a conference on Marine Corps and Navy manpower. The meeting came about because known demographic trends point to coming problems for the Services in recruiting enough qualified young men. The purpose of the conference was to consider possible research contributions to the problem and to identify candidate areas for new R and D support. Four panels dealt with these topics: (a) physical and mental standards for enlistment; (b) civilianization and direct procurement; (c) underutilized groups, e.g., women and minorities; (d) organizational factors. About 40 people attended the meeting; they included scientists, research managers, and manpower policy and planning people. In addition to providing a forum for discussing manning issues, the conference generated statements of research needs and specific recommendations for addressing them. (Author)
