Book Description
During the early 1990s, the Department of Defense (DoD) began to change its focus from the Cold War to pursue more diverse missions. Questions arose about how future changes in military missions, organizations, and technology would affect the nature of military work and the characteristics of the military and civilian members of the DoD workforce. To address these questions, RAND undertook an occupational-level analysis of the effects of the future environment on the characteristics of DoD work and workers.

Book Description
The Director for Manpower and Personnel, J1, the Joint Staff, has had a long-standing interest in the types of service personnel who will be needed in the future and whether they will be different from past personnel. As a result, the research reported here has been sponsored by three successive incumbents in that office. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Civilian Personnel Policy also became interested in how change in the defense environment might affect the defense civil service workforce and became an additional sponsor of the research. In response to these interests, RAND developed a study that addressed both military and civilian workforces. This report provides our assessment of the change in levels of work (generalized work activities and work context) and worker characteristics (knowledge, skills, and abilities) that will be needed in the environment visualized in the Joint Staff's Joint Vision 2010 (JCS, 1995).

Book Description
"This book examines the complex phenomenon of leadership in distributed work settings, or leadership at a distance. The study of leadership at a distance is complex because of the ubiquitous roles that leaders play, the scale of work leaders find themselves, and the range of technologies available to them."--[book cover].

Book Description
What is the potential for a divergence in views among civilian and military elites (sometimes referred to as the civil-military gap) to undermine military effectiveness? Although a variety of differences were found among the views of military and civilian survey respondents, these differences mostly disappeared when the authors focused on the attitudes that are pertinent to civilian control of the military and military effectiveness.
