Network Analysis Planning Model for the Judge Advocate General (NAPM-JAG)

摘要

This study resulted in a model that reflects JAGC officer personnel management policies and procedures. The mode is designed to facilitate personnel planning in that it provides a means for evaluating the impact of change in the system. The model simulates the professional careers of JAGC officer personnel over a 30-year period. An initial force is loaded containing TIS, TIG, gender, and functional area information on each officer. Lixutenants and captains are accessed each year of simulation. As the force ages, officer may be retired, be removed, be promoted, be assigned to another category or continue to serve another year in grade. The JAG Officer Personnel Model is a network simulation model constructed within the context of Q-GERT. It is currently running on a Sperry-Univac 1100/84 computer system. A single simulation run of 30 years takes approximately 3 minutes. Key to the successful operation of the model is the collection of accurate promotion probability, retention probability, career windows screening period, and career screening objective data sets. Model outputs provide reports of officer distributions over time, histograms showing TIG distribution for promotions, plots of officer grade levels over time, and transaction tables reporting the officer status.
