Answering the 9-1-1 Call: U.S. Military and Naval Crisis Response Activity, 1977-1991
August 1, 1992
In the 15-year period of 1977 through 1991, U.S. military forces responded to international crises or incidents in 83 cases. This information memorandum presents key findings from historical data in three studies on U.S. military activity since World War II. It examines the questions of whether there is a baseline global demand for U.S. crisis response activity and what impact the Soviet collapse had on the level of U.S. activity. More specifically, the memorandum discusses the role of naval forces in U.S. crisis response activity, focusing on the steady frequency of naval responses over time, the important role played by carriers and the Marine Corps in those responses, the participation of naval forces in all cases involving terrorism, and the increasing concentration of naval crisis response activity in the Middle East during the 1980s.

Specialized Skill Training for Enlisted Navy Personnel: A Historical Account
April 1, 1986
The specialized skill training load in A-, C-, and F-schools for Navy enlisted personnel from 1979 through 1985 is described. The training load for each of these types of schools is broken down by instructional and supernumerary time, by first-termers and careerists, and, in some case, by rating. Changes in definition, such as F-schools becoming C-schools, are documented. From 1979 through 1985, almost 70 percent of the increase in the total specialized skill training load came from the C-schools. Moreover, although the C-school training load increased over 50 percent in the period, increased efficiencies in use of time for instruction meant an even sharper increase in the instructional load.
