Estimating Effect of Single Salary
/reports/2020/04/estimating-effect-of-single-salary
This report considers one of the potential effects of a DOD move to a single-salary system (SSS): changes in servicemember retention driven by changes in marriage behavior. It analyzes the effects that a move to an SSS is likely to have on the percentage of servicemembers who are married and studies the changes in retention rates and force size that may be induced by any changes in marriage behavior. Our approach includes a review of the literature on the relationships between compensation, marital status, and retention; computation of pay changes under different SSS implementation scenarios; estimation of the effect of marital status on retention using personnel data; and development of a model that can forecast marriage rates and force size over time. Overall, we find that these effects are likely to be small, so there is little need for policy-makers to be concerned about these effects when considering a change to an SSS.
). The literature also provides evidence that marriage positively affects military retention, with the strongest such effects for men who are early in their military careers. Our statistical analysis of Defense Manpower Data Center data confirms the literature’s findings on marriage and military retention, with the largest positive effects for male enlisted, somewhat smaller effects for male officers, and no effect for most female enlisted (with the exception of those in the Army). For female officers, our analysis finds that being married has a negative effect on retention, which is consistent

Alternative Sea Manning Concepts
/reports/2006/alternative-sea-manning-concepts
In this paper, we identify the inventory of alternative sea manning initiatives an d experiments that the Navy has been exploring. We present the evidence regarding how these initiatives work in practice and their relative impact on Sailors in terms of such factors as professional training, turnaround ratios (TARs), and retention. We take a critical look at various initiatives in terms of cost feasibility, the availability of shore billets to support these new manning approaches, the expected impact on sea / shore rotation, and other potential costs and consequences. We collected information on altern ative sea manning initiatives and experiments from existing Navy documents, Navy-sponsored research, and other government reports. We also conducted a series of interviews with key informants in the following commands: the Strategic Planning and Analysis Directorate (N1Z) in the Office of Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Manpower and Personnel), the Enlisted Distribution Division (PERS-40), the Navy Manpower Analysis Center, the Surface Warfare Directorate (N76), Fleet Forces Command (FFC), Commander Naval Surface Forces Atlantic (CNSL), Commander Naval Surface Forces (CNSF), and the Center for Surface Combat Systems, Dahlgren, Virginia.

ROCP Officer and Reserve Personnel Readiness
/reports/2017/rocp-officer-and-reserve-personnel-readiness
During Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, the Marine Corps had to augment active component (AC) officers to fill vacant platoon leader billets at activated Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) units. In 2006, the Reserve Officer Commissioning Program (ROCP) was created to recruit non-prior-service officers into the SMCR. This study looks at the performance of the ROCP candidates and their effect on SMCR personnel readiness. We find that ROCP candidates perform similarly to their AC counterparts and tend to affiliate with the SMCR beyond their initial obligations—particularly if they have active-duty (AD) experience. We also found a positive relationship between the presence of lieutenants at SMCR units and the retention of nonobligor enlisted Marines. We recommend that the Marine Corps explore opportunities to expand ROCP recruiting sources, provide ROCP officers with AD experience, and continue to monitor ROCP officers’ career development as the program matures.
, the Deputy Commandant, Manpower and Reserve Affairs, has asked CNA to analyze the performance of ROCP officers and examine the effect of the ROCP on personnel readiness. Overall, our analysis indicates
