Book Description
At the request of Congress to the Secretary of Defense, RAND undertook a study on the advisability and feasibility of a cadre of officers whose assignments and schooling would be managed so as to ensure a viable career track in which the officers would serve in interagency and international assignments. This report presents the results of the study. It (1) identifies approximately 330 such assignments at the policy level and an additional 1200 positions at the other organizational levels; (2) develops four career management models that are variations of the due-course model--managing leader succession, managing competencies, managing skills, and managing the exception; (3) looks at the feasibility of each career model at the level of the officer personnel management system as a whole and at the level of officer career tracks; and (4) assesses the advisability of the models from the perspective of the individual officer, the interagency and

Book Description
Interagency and international processes have received renewed emphasis as a means to integrate diplomatic, economic, and military activities. The idea of specialists in interagency operations was broached in the National Defense Panel Report. (Congress mandated the Panel to assess the Defense Department's Quadrennial Defense Review and to address the future defense and security needs of the United States.) A former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has suggested that applying the spirit of Goldwater-Nichols to the interagency process would increase the nation's power. The Senate Armed Services Committee directed the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study of the advisability and feasibility of establishing a cadre of officers whose assignments and schooling would be managed so as to ensure a viable career track in which these officers would serve in interagency and international assignments. This report provides our assessment of the feasibility and advisability of the suggested course of action. Study findings should be of interest to military personnel managers, analysts, and policymakers, especially those involved in the evaluation of officer career management policy. The appendices contain details about our conceptual and modeling approach, which should be of more interest to the analytical community.

Book Description
Preserving or strengthening regional stability has become a major goal of U.S. security policy. This task requires a complex blend of economic, diplomatic, and military activities. To enhance the nation's capabilities for such activities, the National Defense Panel recommended establishing a cadre of military officers who are specialists in the interagency or international arena, and Congress asked the Department of Defense to study the feasibility and advisability of establishing a career model for identifying, training, and managing such a cadre. The National Defense Research Institute (NDRI) carried out the study and reports the results in Interagency aid International Assignments and Officer Career Management, by Harry J. Thie, Margaret C. Harrell, and Robert M. Emmerichs. The NDRl researchers conclude that it would be feasible to adapt existing career models for officers assigned to interagency and international positions. However, the advisability of such an action depends largely on the objectives to be accomplished and the importance accorded them.

Book Description
Several recent studies, including a study authorized under the 2002 National Defense Authorization Act, have indicated the need for the Department of Defense (DoD) to update the practice, policy, and law applied to Joint Officer Management (JOM) and Joint Professional Military Education. In 2003, DoD asked the RAND Corporation to undertake an analysis that would provide guidance on officer training and development in joint matters. This work builds on that earlier effort. As a lead-in to this study, the 2005 Joint Officer Management Census survey polled officers serving in billets that were likely to require joint experience or joint education or provide such experience. More than 21,000 survey responses were collected. This report examines the extent to which officers believe their jobs provide them with joint experience or require them to have had prior joint education, training, or experience, and it examines how respondents' answers differ across organizations and military services in which the billets are located. This report provides a comprehensive reference source for the JOM survey data and demonstrates how the data can be used to anchor a strategic approach to joint officer management.

Book Description
This research frames a strategic approach to reserve joint officer management that addresses the requirements for, and the supply of, joint officers in the reserve component, and also accounts for the unique constraints and challenges involved in joint officer management for reserve active-status list officers. Because the work required of many reservists is becoming increasingly joint, the need for a systematic examination of how reserve active-status list officers are trained and developed in joint matters is becoming more and more urgent-especially given the dramatic increase in the use of the reserve forces. A strategic approach to joint officer management for reserve active-status list officers must assess the need for officers with prior joint knowledge, experience, and acculturation in certain positions as well as their availability. The authors estimate the supply of joint reserve officers and make several recommendations to help implement a strategic approach to reserve component joint officer management.
