Title

  • Using RAND's military career model to evaluate the impact of institutional requirements on the Air Force space officer career field

Summary

  • "This report summarizes findings from modeling the effect of filling institutional requirement (IR) positions on a career field's health, given that filling IR positions draws labor away from core authorizations. The authors adapted RAND's Military Career Model, a detailed personnel simulation model, to evaluate the impact of changes to IRs on the space officer career field and study IRs' effect on a variety of career field metrics, including the ability to fill core requirements and IR positions simultaneously. The report also examines how changing the number of IRs affects the operational development, career experience diversity, and career paths of space officers. According to the model, the fill rates of most space jobs would not be affected by reductions in the total number of IRs allocated to the space career field. If fewer IRs were assigned to the career field, the biggest effect on fill rates would occur for jobs with slightly less priority than IR positions, particularly staff jobs at the O-4 grade. IR effects on space officers' careers do exist, but they could be lessened by careful job selection and position prioritization"--Publisher's description.
