Working Group 20 Charter
Manpower And Personnel
(Last Updated 23 August 2007)
PURPOSE: The purpose of the Manpower and Personnel working group is to explore manpower and personnel issues within the context of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), including the fluctuation of end strength levels and threat/mission uncertainties. The working group's primary goal is to improve decision making within this context by illuminating new creative methodologies and analytical approaches.
DISCUSSION: Operations research and management science tools and techniques can be applied to all components of the military manpower and personnel system, including the officer and enlisted forces, the Reserve Components and civilians. Recent working group sessions have addressed Reserve Component readiness, assignment policy and PCS stability, retirement, recruiting, retention, compensation, costing, and manpower requirements determination. The working group is composed of a mixture of DoD civilians, military personnel from all four services, FFRDC (federally funded research and development center) and other private sector professionals who work directly in the area of military manpower and personnel analysis or who have an interest in how manpower and personnel issues affect national security and readiness.
OTHER WORKING GROUPS: The Manpower and Personnel Working Group (WG-20) is part of the Resources/Readiness/Training Composite Group (CG D), which also includes the following working groups: Mobility and Transportation of Forces (WG-18); Logistics, Reliability, and Maintainability (WG-19); Readiness (WG-21); Analytic Support to Training (WG-22); and Casualty Estimation and Force Health Protection (WG-23).
