Surface Warfare Officer Community Management Model System Dynamics Proof-of-Concept

Abstract

This system dynamics model was developed to analyze and discern the factors which lead to sustainable numbers of qualified surface warfare officers (SWO) as determined by current and future end-strength requirements and readiness goals. The analysis considered the effects of proposed bonus or separation incentives, other compensation, and quality of life on the quantity and quality of retention and accessions. The model considers all major aspects of manning from initial accessions, training, distribution, and retention. This model serves as a successful proof-of-concept for the utility of system dynamics modeling to realistically model SWO community management functions.
