An Analysis of the Active Duty Service Obligation (ADSO) for Navy Pilots

Abstract

Because of persistent shortages of personnel to fill instructor billets in the aviator community, the active duty service obligation (ADSO) for naval aviation officers was increased on 1 July 1987. Newly commissioned officers in the aviation community are not required to make a six year commitment to the Navy after receiving their wings. This change has prompted policymakers to ask about the optimal minimum service requirement. This research memorandum analyzes the ADSO for Navy pilots. The analysis included the development of a model that captures the effect of changes in the ADSO on the total compensation and training costs of pilots through the first 15 years of service. Keywords: Aviation personnel, Billets (personnel, Compensation, Computerized simulation, Costs, Input output model, Naval personnel, Naval training, Personnel retention, Pilots, Recruits.
