Book Description
The Congress enacted the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (DOPMA) on December 12, 1980. The new code replaced an existing patchwork of rules and regulations governing the management of military officers and updated numerical constraints on the number of field-grade officers (0-4 through 0-6) that each service might have as a percentage of its officer corps. It was the Congress's expectation that DOPMA would 'maintain a high-quality, numerically sufficient officer corps, provide career opportunity that would attract and retain the numbers of high-caliber officers needed, (and) provide reasonably consistent career opportunity among the services.' In September 1990, the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force Management and Personnel) asked RAND to review the past ten years of operations of DOPMA, to identify and appraise any difficulties in manpower management that may have developed from that legislation.

Book Description
The Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (DOPMA), enacted in 1980, replaced an existing patchwork of rules and regulations governing the management of military officers, and updated numerical constraints on the number of field grade officers (0-4 through 0-6) that each service might have. While breaking new ground (permanent grade tables, single promotion system, augmentation of reserve officers into regular status), DOPMA was basically evolutionary, extending the existing paradigm (grade controls, promotion opportunity and timing objectives, up-or-out, and uniformity across the services) that was established after World War II. The authors found that DOPMA was a better static description of the desired officer structure than dynamic management tool. In retrospect, DOPMA could neither handily control the growth in the officer corps in the early part of the 1980s nor flexibly manage the reduction-in-force in the latter part of the decade. In the current dynamic environment, DOPMA cannot meet all its stated objectives. Congress has provided some flexibility in officer management, but in so doing, major tenets of DOPMA have been voided. DOPMA forces choice between grade table violations (law) or diminution of proffered tenure (law) and proffered promotion opportunity/timing (policy, promise) in a period of reductions. Moreover, the implicit assumption that the officer management system should be able to adjust instantaneously (as seen in the way the grade table is implemented) points to the need for further flexibility to meet short-term needs. The authors recommend flexibility through a longer adjustment period for the services to accommodate reductions mandated by the DOPMA grade table.

Book Description
The Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (the Act) for Medical Officer Pay and Entitlements was passed in December 1980, and was implemented on September 15, 1981. The Act eliminated constructive service credit for pay purposes for students who enrolled in the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) and the Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) after September 14, 1981. Constructive service credit was no longer needed for longevity pay purposes because the Act restructured the pay system for military health professionals. Our objective was to determine whether the Act was properly implemented for medical officer pay and entitlements. We also evaluated whether the Boards for the Correction of Military and Naval Records (the Boards) acted appropriately in subsequently awarding constructive service credit for pay purposes to the 1985 and 1986 USUHS and HPSP graduates (the first graduating classes to be affected by the Act). Specifically, we determined whether the Boards' actions were within the scope of their authority and were procedurally sound.
