RECRUITING AND RETENTION IN THE LATE 1990s
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We examined late-1990s trends in enlisted recruitment, retention, and reenlistment and officer retention in the Air Force compared with the other services to determine whether the Air Force faces personnel issues that differ in type and magnitude from those of the other services. We focused on the late 1990s because it is the period after the defense drawdown was completed and the end of Operation Desert Storm. Both the drawdown and the Gulf War caused aberrations in recruiting and retention trends (Asch, Hosek, et al., 2002). We also considered the effect of “perstempo” on reenlistment.1 This examination of recent trends provides a backdrop for understanding the role that skill pay and capability pay might play in helping the Air Force achieve its manpower requirements and provides background for some of the reasons why these pays have been suggested as a means of improving manpower management.
