DoD Survey of Officers and Enlisted Personnel: Survey Design and Administrative Procedures (1978).
Abstract
This study program seeks to develop broad strategies and specific solutions for dealing with present and future defense manpower problems. These goals require new methodologies for examining broad classes of manpower problems as well as specific problem-oriented research. In addition to analyzing current and future manpower issues, it is hoped that this study program will contribute to a better general understanding of the manpower problems confronting the Department of Defense. A key component of the program is the development of DoD-wide data bases that can support the policy research and analysis necessary for dealing with present and future defense manpower problems. Such data should include information about the behavior, experiences, attitudes, preferences, and intentions of military personnel. Particularly if collected on a periodic basis, these data would be helpful in assessing the response of military personnel to past or current policy chanes and could be used to identify future areas for policy action. This note provides an overview of the design together with a description of the field procedures for one of the major data bases created in this program.
