Manpower and Training Requirements for the U.S. (United States) Navy's Fleet Divers.

Abstract

This thesis discusses the manpower requirements of the U.S. Navy's fleet divers. The diver's demographics are described, and comparisons are made with other Navy communities. The divers' training pipeline is discussed, including school capacities, numbers of inputs and attrition rates. The current inventory of divers is matched with the billets authorized for divers, and existing shortages are pointed out. Further manpower requirements are presented, and inventories of each diving classification are projected through FY-87 based on historical transition rates and high and low accession scenarios. The FY-83 Training Input Plan is discussed, and a preferred plan in presented to meet manpower requirements by FY-86. The importance of recruiting sufficient numbers of accessions, and the means for doing so are brought out. Other items discussed are retention, compensation, and the distribution of divers by paygrade, including projections of the paygrade distribution. (Author)
