Military Benefits that Retain Mid-Career Army Officers.

摘要

The purpose of this thesis was to determine how important direct service benefits are to mid-career U.S. Army officers' decision to continue serving in the Army on active duty. Specifically, the thesis examined how changes in select military service benefits would affect mid-career Army officers' decision making. The researcher designed a survey that was distributed to Army officers attending the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC) Intermediate Level Education (ILE) Class 12-02. The survey consisted of four demographic questions, six multiple-choice questions, and one open-ended question. Overall, the research results provide valuable information on which category or categories of benefits most influence mid-career officers' decision to remain serving in the Army on active duty.
