A Model for Estimating Navy Manpower in Base Operating Support Program.

Abstract

The primary objective of this effort was to develop manpower estimating equations to forecast aggregate requirements within the base operating support (BOS) sector of Navy manpower. These statistical relationships should contain direct measures of the ship or aircraft forces that are resident at BOS locales. An extensive data collection effort was conducted so that data on the physical size and population supported by a given BOS activity could be matched with data describing the workload imposed by ship and aircraft forces resident at the activity. Multiple regression analysis was then used to obtain estimating equations that are both statistically sound and intuitively appealing. Results showed that, for the major BOS categories of naval stations and naval air stations, manpower requirements were statistically related to both the manpower of the associated ship or aircraft forces, respectively, as well as to the tenant population of the 'host' BOS activity. These findings did not vary by fleet nor were there significant differences among the various types (fleet, reserve, training) of air stations.
