Background and Theory Behind the Compensation, Accessions, and Personnel Management (CAPM) Model

Abstract

Pay and other forms of compensation received for military service are important determinants of a person's decision to join the military or to reenlist after an enlistment period is completed. Since the introduction of the All Volunteer Force in 1973, understanding the effects of economic issues on the supply, recruitment, and retention of military personnel has been especially important, and determining the effects of changes in pay, retirement compensation, selective reenlistment bonuses, or selective early retirement bonuses is essential for good decisionmaking in personnel policy matters. This report descries the Compensation, Accession, and Personnel Management (CAPM) model, which was developed to be a relatively easy-to-use personal computer-based analytical tool that would enable decisionmakers to study the effects of changes in policy on retention behavior and future inventories of military personnel.
