Navy veteran (NAVET) affiliations to the Selected Reserve (SELRES) are examined. Affiliation rates by rating are calculated using national data. These affiliation rates are shown to vary across rating, Reserve Recruiting and Manning Objective System (RAMOS) category, and bonus eligibility.

This volume of the National Manpower Inventory (NMI) describes (1) the major inputs to the NMI and adjustments of the data made to meet NMI goals more directly; (2) the operational NMI model that was developed and its potential uses; and (3) some limitations inherent in the NMI data. For Additional Information See 02 053302, and 02 053303.

Three hundred eighty conflicts initiated during the years 1946-1964 are analysed. The analysis of recent conflicts has three major advantages: (1) to confirm or counter assumptions about limited warfare situations in the period 1946-1964 to provide greater validity in predicting such situations in the future; (2) to identify the major variables involved in the various kinds of recent conflicts so that these variables will be used appropriately in the analysis of future conflicts of a similar type; and (3) to provide a data base from which important implications about the nature of recent conflicts may be derived so that effective processes of deterrence and control may be perceived for future application.
