The purpose of this research, which was conducted under project Zil67-PN.02 (Computer-assisted Testing, Counseling, and Assignment of Recruits) was to develop and test an attrition utility component for the computerized personnel assignment system known as CLASP (Classification and Assignment Within PRIDE). Appreciation is expressed to RADM Freeman, USN (Ret.), (CNRC-013), LCDR Biegler (NMPC-^81), and LCDR Sheehan (NMPC-^82) for many helpful discussions concerning policy issues. An essential contribution to the success of this project was provided by LCDR P. Griffin (OPNAV-13) and Professors G. Thomas, K. Euske, and R. Elster of the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, who conducted research that resulted in the derivation of the attrition severity index (ASI). The results are intended for use by Naval Military Personnel Command and Navy Recruiting Command CLASP program managers, as well as other Department of Defense agencies concerned with personnel allocation problems,
A fill-rate component was developed and tested for the Marine Corps' program management module, which governs the allocation of recruit applicants to enlisted program guarantees within the Automated Recruit Management System (ARMS). Marine Corps policy directives led to the formulation of a utility component capable of meeting program fill-rate requirements. The resulting component was tested by simulating recruit assignments and assessing model performance characteristics. Programs filled at nearly uniform rates for all 9 sample months examined. The results of assignment by model (ABM) were compared to actual assignment (AA) results. The ABM resulted in personnel allocation to enlisted guarantee programs at more uniform accession rates than AA.
