Book Description
Much of current officer personnel legislation was created to address the Cold War and is based on the experiences of World War II in developing a large officer corps. In the post-Cold War environment, with the officer corps at its lowest level since the aftermath of World War II, and with a changing national security and military strategy, Congress in Section 502 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484) asked for a fundamental examination of officer management for the period beyond the current drawdown. Congress and the Department of Defense expressed interest in several primary areas to include grade and skill requirements; flows into, within, and out of the services; turnover and stability; career lengths; and promotion. The conclusions reached in this study were based on a broad method of analysis designed to provide analytical information about changes that could be made in the officer career management system. The authors set forth alternative future systems from which needed policies can be selected to address DoD and service objectives for officer careers. The authors also suggested criteria for measuring how well the systems meet the purpose and objectives of officer career management described in this report.

Book Description
This report represents a follow-on effort to an earlier National Defense Research Institute study, Future Career Management Systems for U.S. Military Officers, MR-470-OSD, 1994, that serves as a source for alternative career management practices. The current report applies an objectives-based methodology using preferences of Department of Defense policymakers in the development of a career management system for officers. The work was completed and provided to the sponsor in 1997. This study was sponsored by the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, and it was carried out in the Forces and Resources Policy Center of the National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the unified commands, and the defense agencies. The study should interest those involved with military Personnel management.

Book Description
"Many of the laws and policies that govern officer career management (often collectively referred to as "DOPMA," after the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act of 1980) have been in place for decades. DOPMA has served the needs of the services reasonably well, but the current system may not meet the requirements of the future operating environment. One criticism of DOPMA is that it does not allow for much variety in officers' career paths because it is time-driven. Alternatively, officers' competencies are now emerging as the basis for career management. In this monograph, the authors demonstrate how a competency-based officer personnel management system could provide more flexibility in preparing military officers for the wide range of roles and missions of the U.S. military in the 21st century. This analysis focuses on practices governing promotions for military officers and closely related assignment and retirement policies."--Rand web site
