Manpower Availability. Navy Enlisted Projections -- FY 1979-1985.
Abstract
Navy ships and systems are manned by a wide variety of enlisted personnel of different ratings (occupations) and rates (skill levels). Training individuals for these different positions requires substantial time, instructor personnel and facilities, and financial investment. While the Navy has been reasonably successful in recruiting first-term enlistees, retaining these personnel beyond initial enlistment has continued to be a problem. Second-term enlistees, which are the primary input into the Navy's experienced personnel pool, are in very short supply for many ratings, especially in pay grades E-5 and E-6 (Second and First Class Petty Officers). As a result, many Navy systems are being manned and maintained by personnel with skills and experience below that required for optimum system performance. The purpose of this report was to identify those Navy ratings and pay grades in severely short supply. This knowledge will enable hardware developers to consider the impact of manpower limitations during the concept formulation and subsequent stages of system development.
