Attitudes of Youth Toward Military Service: Results of National Surveys Conducted in May 1971, November 1971, and June 1972.

Abstract

The survey was conceived as part of a systematic effort by the Department of Defense to study the enlistment motivation and attitudes toward employment and education held by American youth. This report provides information about the motivations and predispositions of contemporary American civilian youth as elicted in three independent surveys. Findings from this research provide a continuing vehicle for monitoring the attitudes of youth. Each successive replication of the survey permits the assessment of changes in attitudes toward the Service that may result from youth's reactions to new programs and events. Such information is vital to the Department of Defense in evaluating policy and planning optimum manpower recruitment and procurement programs. (Author)
