Manning Under AIP
Published Date: June 1, 2006
The Navy began offering Assignment Incentive Pay (AIP) for hard-to-fill billets in three geographic locations in June 2003. At that time, N13 asked CNA to analyze various components of the experiment. In this CNA report, we analyze different aspects of the experiment that are now possible because it is no longer in its initial stages. In particular, we conducted an analysis of (1) how overall manning has changed since AIP began, (2) how manning has changed in AIP locations that were selected early in the experiment, (3) differences in the quality, or other characteristics of Sailors in AIP locations, (4) changes in the rate at which Sailors selected for AIP jobs ultimately show up for those jobs, and (5) retention decisions of single-parent Sailors since AIP began.
