A Comparison of the PROPHET and ACOL Force Projection Models.

Abstract

The Center for Naval Analyses has developed two models for projecting enlisted force levels: the PROPHET model and the more widely-known ACOL model. This paper compares the career force projections of these models to actual historical experience over the period FY 78-FY 80. We also refine the ACOL model to allow for the effect of first-term reenlistment bonuses on subsequent second-term reenlistment rates.
