The Manpower, Personnel, and Training Analysis Subspecialist: An Analysis of Historical Data.

Abstract

This thesis presents an overview of the fledging MPTA (Manpower, Personnel and Training Analysis) subspecialty and its subspecialists. Even though analysis of historical data dominates this research, the recently approved MPTA specialist track is addressed and its impact within the subspecialty community briefly discussed. Topical issues such as availability and utilization of subspecialists, utilization tour completion, and inventory vs. requirements for certain primary officer specialties are addressed. A Markov model is introduced as a method to predict the distribution of URL (Unrestricted Line) Officer MPTA subspecialists in operational/leadership, utilization, and nonutilization type billets. The graduate education steady state quota model is used to show the potential impact of the specialist on total MPTA subspecialist inventories and Naval Postgraduate School student inputs. Keywords: Navy subspecialists; Manpower utilization; Billets(Personnel). (Theses)
