Delayed Entry Program Contracting Cohort Loss Analysis: A Replication

Abstract

The use of delayed entry programs in processing enlistments for the military services has become an increasingly popular recruiting mechanism and is likely to remain a major component of recruiting for the all-volunteer military force for some time. To provide support for the Army in establishing effective procedures for managing the DEP, the Army Research Institute has initiated research through its Enlisted Recruitment and Retention Project. This research report presents the approach and findings of a DEP contract loss analysis performed using a cohort methodology. The analysis was conducted as a replication of work performed earlier by the U.S. Army Recruiting Command's DEP Efficiency Task Force. It used data from the same source as the task force but employed a different methodology.
