Asian Americans: A Quality Market for Force XXI.

Abstract

The futuristic Army envisioned in the Force XXI concept will depend on high quality personnel for success. As the Army evolves into a technologically sophisticated and information intensive force, it will find itself in increasingly stiff competition with the civilian sector for well-educated, self- motivated and capable personnel to fill its ranks. With its record of social achievements along with its projected growth, the U.S. Asian American population represents a potential high quality market whose youth demonstrate traits and attributes relevant and desirable in a high technology workplace. This study looks at Asian American achievement, representation in the military, propensity to enlist, and concludes with recommendations for increasing Asian American representation in the Army.
