Air Force Manpower, Personnel, and Training: Roles and Interactions.

Abstract

Provides the first consolidated summary of the Air Force's Manpower Personnel, and Training (MPT) system, and compares the officially prescribed function of the three components with the way they perform in reality. The components obviously interact: 'Manpower' determines the requirements for people and distributes budget-approved authorizations; 'Personnel' determines management policies and tries to fill authorized positions with the right people; and 'Training' recruits, classifies, and trains enlisted personnel. The report emphasizes links among the components and explains how the system relates to the Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System (PPBS). The Air Force can therefore use the report to identify needed improvements and to introduce newcomers to the MPT system's structure and functions. (Author)
