Marine Corps Joint Assignment Model under Title IV of the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986.

摘要

This thesis reviews the requirements imposed on Marine Corps manpower managers by Title IV of the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986. An interactive computer program, TITLE IV, is introduced as a tool which manpower managers can use to forecast the effect of manpower decisions in regards to compliance with Title IV regulations. The model uses a push-pull process which pushes officers with joint duty experience through their Marine Corps career and pulls officers into joint duty billets. Several billet strategies were developed to demonstrate the models flexibility and potential use to manpower managers. (kr)
