Armed Forces Examining and Entrance Stations Mobilization Capacity.
Abstract
The Armed Forces Examining and Entrance Stations (AFEES) are charged with processing and accepting enlisted personnel into the Military Services during peacetime and in the event of mobilization. This study examines their capacity to meet their mobilization mission. Analysis is based on present capability and actual, stated mobilization requirements and plans. Programmed and contemplated changes and improvements in the system are identified, but they are not used speculatively to change capability. The study addresses the situation that exists now. It concludes that the AFEES can process the expected mobilization workload, that their capability should increase in the near term, but that there are some problems that do now or could adversely affect their efficiency. Among these problems are inadequate ADP capability and reliance on manual personnel operations and uncertainty concerning availability and source of mobilization manpower resources, particularly doctors. In addition, the intention of the part of the Army to individually MOS classify inductees at the AFEES and the absence of procedures and clear responsibilities for controlling flow throughout the system could cause serious difficulties during mobilization.
