management to the Marine Corps’ future operating concepts. As the 38th Commandant put it, “Our modern operational concepts and organizations cannot reach their full warfighting potential without a talent management system that recruits, develops, and retains the right Marines.” Unfortunately, the only way to retain the right Marines in the current “up or out” system is for selection boards ... noise, and that the way selection boards use RVs involves a well-known issue with data summaries that statisticians have warned people about for decades. I will also highlight an important tension

Review of USCG Chief Warrant Officer Specialties

/reports/2004/review-of-uscg-chief-warrant-officer-specialties

As part of this effort, the Coast Guard asked CNA to address the following questions: What is the current role of a CWO and what new competencies will CWOs need in the future? Is the CWO force adequately trained? What training is applicable across specialties? Where are the most important training deficiencies? Should the current CWO specialty structure be revised? Should any specialties be combined? Should new specialties be created? What should the source ratings be for each specialty? Does the Coast Guard need a CWO-5 paygrade? To address these questions, we first produced a comprehensive inven- tory of the work performed by CWOs, using a web-based competency analysis methodology to gather data from Coast Guard personnel representing the different specialties. A panel of experts then provided input on how future USCG missions will impact the work performed by CWOs. Our analysis revealed the following: Work performed in each specialty is largely different from that performed in other specialties. There are enough people and work to staff a Marine Safety specialty. There are not enough people and work to staff an IT specialty. However, the Coast Guard will need high-level IT expertise in the future. Some Communications CWOs are doing lower-level IT work and, as a group, they see a less clear career path than members of other specialties. Potential new enlisted feeder ratings exist for some CWO specialties. Two broad competencies—Personnel Management and Devel- opment and Business Administration—cross most CWO spe- cialties, but personnel are inadequately trained. For most specialties, a CWO’s role is roughly half technical oriented and half leadership oriented. Changing roles for CWOs reflect new information technology in both operational and administrative areas. Emerging work requirements for CWOs reflect future emphasis on national defense, particularly port security. There is insufficient evidence to support adding a W-5 paygrade.
