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.

Optimizing Total Force Management

/reports/2021/07/optimizing-total-force-management

Manpower management (MM) is the term for the set of processes by which the services and other DOD components define and fund—for each operational unit, command staff, and shore/support organization—the numbers and types of job positions that these activities need to perform their missions. Execution of these MM processes across DOD is governed by a combination of the Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD) and service-specific instructions, directives, and policies. In addition to providing methods and policy for determining the number and types of position, they provide guidance for determining the most appropriate labor source (active military, reserve military, civilians, or contracted services) to fill each position. This study examines the MM processes currently used within each DOD component to determine how they integrate DOD’s workforce mix policy and guidance and to identify impediments that prevent or supersede adherence to this guidance.

Technology in Law Enforcement

/reports/2019/03/technology-in-law-enforcement

There are no currently-known, formal studies of the frequency and use of common operational picture (COP) technology in law enforcement. This market review report is part of an overarching mixed-methods study that will include a national survey of law enforcement agencies to discern the types of COP technology used in the field and a set of case studies on the COP technology adoption process, lessons learned, and best practices for implementing and using COP technologies. This market review illustrates COP technology features and capabilities available to law enforcement agencies, though these technologies may not necessarily be in use. This report is not intended to rank or evaluate the products listed. We did not test or evaluate the products. The report’s sole purpose is to provide the law enforcement community with an overview of COP products available at the time the data was collected.

Gender Differences Among DON Personnel

/reports/2019/04/gender-differences-among-don-personnel

This report documents an analysis of gender differences in misbehavior rates among enlisted personnel in the Department of the Navy (DON). Using indicators found in personnel data from the US Marine Corps (USMC) and the US Navy (USN), we show that, between fiscal year (FY) 1999 and FY 2015, male misbehavior rates were higher than female rates for every indicator, in every year for both services. Using data from FY 2015, we estimate that higher male misbehavior rates in the USMC (USN) resulted in about 1,400 (2,000) extra incidents of misbehavior and imposed about $57 ($197) million in extra costs. Based on these results, we conclude that excluding costs associated with higher rates of male misbehavior renders cost-benefit analyses of increasing gender integration incomplete. In addition, we recommend that the DON improve cost estimates of misbehavior to allocate resources toward prevention and response as effectively and efficiently as possible.
