Book Description
As the Army downsizes over the next five years, it is imperative to establish and enduring system to meet the transition needs of our soldiers. The Army has initiated the Army Career and Alumni Program (ACAP) which is a comprehensive transition program for soldiers separating from the service both voluntarily and involuntarily. This study does a review of the background of the program to include the significance of the FY 1990 Veteran's Benefit Amendment package for soldiers involuntarily separated after 30 September 1990. The study examines the need for ACAP and lessons learned from transition programs from a historical perspective during World War I and II, Korea and Vietnam. The ACAP program design, functions, and organization are discussed in detail. The study provides observations and conclusions about the potential of the program. Recommendations are furnished that may assist the ACAP.

Cost Analysis of the Army Career and Alumni Program's (ACAP) Transition Assistance Office (TAO) Services

Book Description
The objective of the study was to assess the effects on operational costs and program efficiency and effectiveness of outsourcing the Army Career and Alumni Program (ACAP) transition assistance services and consolidating them with job assistance services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ACAP personnel at a sample of field offices to obtain information about the major transition and job assistance functions. Cost estimates of government- and contractor-provided services were also compared. The major finding was that the separate provision of transition and job assistance services is inefficient for the soldier, the unit, and ACAP. We concluded that outsourcing the transition assistance functions to a private contractor and consolidating them with the job assistance functions will reduce ACAP's operational costs and improve the efficiency of the program. The findings can be used by ACAP and other military decision makers to assess the feasibility of outsourcing and to assist in planning and implementing a privatization effort.

Book Description
"From 1990-1995, the U.S. Army Research institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences administered an experimental exit survey to separating soldiers. This instrument was known as the Army Career Transitions Survey (ACTS). The ACTS was designed for use among separating Active Duty Army personnel to measure: (1) satisfaction levels, (2) perceptions of Army leadership, (3) advice for potential recruits, and the (4) reasons for leaving the Army. The Human Resources Research Organization was awarded a contract to develop standardized administration procedures and to review and revise the items on the ACTS. To meet the goals of this research, the approach primarily involved: (1) gathering information through semistructured interviews with pertinent commands and transition site personnel; (2) reviewing the literature on leadership; (3) pilot testing the revised survey instrument; and (4) analyzing the results. Each of these efforts is addressed individually in this report."--DTIC.
