Tradeoff Analysis of Removing Dependents from USAREUR.

Abstract

With the changing economic and military conditions in Europe, an alternative to the present policy of accompanied tours to Europe is needed. Both quantitative (schools, housing, allowances) and non-quantitative (morale, readiness, retention, family) factors are examined for two alternative policies, one with no dependents in Europe, the second with a minimum number present, both in conjunction with an 18 month assigned tour. The results indicate that despite the all-volunteer force implications, the 'minimum dependent' policy should be implemented over a five year period to improve the combat readiness of USAREUR.
