Book Description
This report describes a methodology for estimating the non-recruiting costs of Reserve component changes in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy and draws inferences about the factors that affect non-recurring unit costs. The report also addresses other cost effects associated with unit charges, including changes in annual recurring costs and indirect or force-wide costs. Construction, support equipment, and aircrew training costs account for the majority of the non-recurring costs in the various case studies. The findings suggest that non-recurring costs can be reduced if (1) the basing location has existing facilities; (2) prior-service aircrew personnel with experience in the new weapon system can be recruited; and (3) the Reserve unit is located on an Active base that has excess capacity and can share in various logistic-support assets. Keywords: Military reserves; Air Force personnel; Military force levels. (Author).

Book Description
The June 2019 OMB Circular No. A-11 provides guidance on preparing the FY 2021 Budget and instructions on budget execution. Released in June 2019, it's printed in two volumes. This is Volume I. Your budget submission to OMB should build on the President's commitment to advance the vision of a Federal Government that spends taxpayer dollars more efficiently and effectively and to provide necessary services in support of key National priorities while reducing deficits. OMB looks forward to working closely with you in the coming months to develop a budget request that supports the President's vision. Most of the changes in this update are technical revisions and clarifications, and the policy requirements are largely unchanged. The summary of changes to the Circular highlights the changes made since last year. This Circular supersedes all previous versions. VOLUME I Part 1-General Information Part 2-Preparation and Submission of Budget Estimates Part 3-Selected Actions Following Transmittal of The Budget Part 4-Instructions on Budget Execution VOLUME II Part 5-Federal Credit Part 6-The Federal Performance Framework for Improving Program and Service Delivery Part7-Appendices Why buy a book you can download for free? We print the paperback book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the bound paperback from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these paperbacks as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound paperback, full-size (8 1/2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https: //usgovpub.com

Estimating the Costs of Changes in the Active/Reserve Balance
Author: Glenn A. Gotz
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : United States
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Management of the total military force requires a determination of the proper role of the Selected Reserve. Both the executive and legislative branches of the government have increasingly looked to an expansion of the reserves as a potentially cost-effective way of maintaining the capability requirements of the total force. This trend has created the need for a cost methodology capable of supporting active/reserve force-mix decisions. This report presents a methodology for assessing the cost consequences of changing the mix of active and reserve units in the total force. The authors argue that the key to the usefulness of active/reserve force structure cost studies lies in a proper specification of the problem. Toward that end, they developed a structured accounting methodology for identifying and costing the resource, activity, and mission consequences of force structure change.

Active/reserve Cost Methodology
Author: Michael G. Shanley
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
During the programming and budgeting phases of the federal budgeting process, military analysts are sometimes asked to evaluate the cost consequences of changing the mix of active and reserve units in the total force. To solve some of the chronic problems that can impede these analyses -- vaguely defined proposed changes, difficult-to-obtain cost factors, insufficient time, and lack of agreement on methods -- RAND developed a systematic structured framework. The framework is designed to assist in (1) translating force-mix proposals into fully specified cost problems, (2) calculating the full spectrum of costs implied by that specification, and (3) presenting the cost results in the context of changes in military capability. This report employs three case studies -- the Air Force C-5 case, the Navy FF-1052 case, and the Army AH-64 case -- to demonstrate the use of the framework. The report concludes that this active/reserve cost methodology will perform effectively in a variety of contexts.
