Reenlistment Motivations of First-Term Enlisted Men and Women

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to identify attitudes and motives underlying reenlistment decisions of first-tour soldiers. The research focused on determining what changes in reenlistment options and incentives might succeed in retaining effective soldiers for a second tour of service. Accordingly, a questionnaire was developed to tap reenlistment motives and attitudes, and then it was administered to 4,671 soldiers stationed in the U.S. and Europe. In addition, supervisory ratings of effectiveness were obtained for 2,444 soldiers in this sample.
