The Navy Manpower-Requirements System
Abstract
This research memorandum describes and evaluates the process used by the Navy to set, implement, and execute manpower requirements. Recommendations for improving data bases and the Navy's mobilization capacity are provided. The process used by the Navy to address these requirements is divided into three parts: (1) requirements determination, (2) billet structuring, and (3) execution. Requirements determination is the Navy's method for choosing the proper quality and quantity of personnel needed to operate the Navy in peace and in war. The goal is to provide a feasible, affordable mix active, reserve, and civilian personnel who can meet the Navy's peacetime needs and mobilize within a specified interval to meet the Navy's wartime needs. Billet structuring is the process through which manpower requirements are organized into actual Navy units, such as a ship or headquarters staff. The execution process involves manning the Navy and includes the distribution of personnel throughout the various commands. The principal functions of this process are recruiting, training, and assignment. Requirements determination is conducted through the four elements of the Navy Manpower Engineering Program (NAVMEP): the Ship Manpower Document (SMD) program, the Squadron Manpower Document (SQMD) program, Shore Manpower Document (SHMD) program, and the Navy Manpower Mobilization System (NAMMOS).
