Military Reenlistment and Deployment During the War on Terrorism

Abstract

In response to concerns about the ability of the military services to sustain required force levels, a RAND study examined deployment trends and developed a theoretical model to assess the effects of personal and work stress, bonus pay, and cumulative number of months of deployment on intention to reenlist and actual reenlistment rates. A review of recent literature and an analysis of survey and administrative data show that the amount of deployment time had the largest impact on reenlistment, with negative effects for soldiers and marines with the highest cumulative months of deployment.
