Career Area Rotation model (CAROM): Historical Overview of Technique and Utilization.

Abstract

This report provides a management overview of the Career Area Rotation Model (CAROM) and reviews the utilization of the model as an aid in the formulation of personnel policy. The objectives of this study were twofold. First, a review of the development of CAROM was made along with an overview intended for personnel and manpower managers. The second purpose was to discuss how the model could be used in actual decision-making situations through the presentation of two previous applications. One application involved the analysis on the enlisted force in several career fields of alternative promotion systems. The other application was concerned with studying CONUS rotation base problems brought about by varying overseas tour lengths. In both applications, it was seen that CAROM provided considerable relevant information to the personnel policy decision process. (Author)
