Organizing Survey Research to Support Military Manpower Policies

Abstract

This report describes a program which seeks to develop broad strategies and specific solutions for dealing with present and future defense manpower problems. The achievement of these goals requires the development of new methodologies for examining broad classes of manpower problems, as well as specific problem-oriented research. A key objective of the Rand program was the development of Department of Defense (DoD)-wide data bases that can support policy formulation and research on defense manpower problems. The data bases provide information about the demographic, economic, and social characteristics of military personnel and about their experiences, intentions, attitudes, and preferences. Particularly if collected periodically, these data will serve as a basis for assessing the response of military personnel to policy changes and for identifying areas for future policy action.
