How to Think about Innovation

/analyses/2021/07/how-to-think-about-innovation

Navy senior leadership's recent effort to address innovation in the fleet continues a long tradition of naval innovation, and especially among dedicated innovation organizations. What type of innovation does the Navy want? We provide a rough framework to categorize innovation and provide other considerations that can affect how an organization should organize for innovation.

Tracking Outcomes of Voluntary Education Programs Characterizing

/analyses/2021/04/tracking-outcomes-of-voluntary-education-programs-characterizing

In this report, we use individual-level data provided by each of the Services, Force Education and Training, and the Defense Manpower Data Center to estimate whether individual Servicemembers use Tuition Assistance (TA) and whether they are among the Services’ more active TA users. In addition, we analyze which military and demographic characteristics are important in determining whether a Servicemember experiences a positive TA outcome (defined as attaining any degree, attaining a bachelor’s degree or higher, and/or having a high course completion rate). Ultimately, by identifying those subpopulations of Servicemembers who are among the Services’ more active TA users but also are among the least likely to experience positive TA outcomes, we identify those groups that might benefit from targeted counseling efforts. Such discussions could prepare Servicemembers for the challenges that lie ahead, making their ultimate success more likely.

Tracking Outcomes of Voluntary Military Education Programs Data

/analyses/2021/04/tracking-outcomes-of-voluntary-military-education-programs-data

In this report, we used individual-level data provided by each of the Services and Force Education and Training to calculate the Tuition Assistance (TA) and My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) educational outcome statistics of Servicemembers and their spouses, as requested in the 2014 DOD Appropriations Bill. These tabulations compare not only outcomes by Service but also by institutional sector (private for-profit, private not-for-profit, and public). By making these Service- and sector-level comparisons, we highlight differences in TA and MyCAA enrollment, cost, number of courses taken, credits received, courses completed, and degrees received. These summarized outcome measures will provide policy-makers with a better understanding of the differences that exist across Services and education sectors, allowing them to evaluate how the Services are using these Voluntary Education benefits.

Viral Extremism COVID19 and Nontraditional Threats

/analyses/2021/03/viral-extremism-covid19-and-nontraditional-threats

This policy brief, developed in collaboration with counterterrorism (CT) experts at CNA, seeks to answer the question of how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected domestic and international violent extremist organizations (VEOs), the US CT community, and the ability of US partners to support CT operations. Importantly, it provides a snapshot of how pandemics and other nontraditional threats can drive a cycle of violence in the future. This brief concludes that nearly every facet of VEO activities—environment, operations, resources, recruitment, and strategy—has benefitted from the chaotic and widespread effects of the pandemic. Conversely, US and partner forces tasked with containing the threat posed by terrorist groups have been affected negatively across these same five areas.
