Analysis of the Individuals Account for Officers

Abstract

Naval Officers in the individuals account (IAO) consist of those in training, on temporary duty (TEMDU), or transients, patients, prisoners, and holdees (TPPH). These personnel are not available for operation duty. With a fixed ceiling for personnel, any increase in the size of the IAO results in fewer officers available to fill operational positions. This directly impacts the Navy's ability to fulfill its operational mission. The total IAO has remained fairly constant since the mid 1970s, but its proportions are changing. Increasing complexity in the practice of Naval Warfare has led to greater training requirements and the training portion of the IAO account has paralleled this growth. As a result, great care is needed in assessing the impact of training programs on the size of the IAO. Existing IAO monitoring units should be strengthened to provide more effective IAO management. Keywords: Individuals account; Workforce planning; Manpower overhead.
