Rotation/Assignment System of Imbalanced Air Force Specialty Codes within Air Force Communications Command: A System Dynamics Model and Analysis.

摘要

A dynamic policy model of the airman assignment and rotation system has been developed and tested. The model incorporates aggregate flows, broad-based system structure, and decision rules that can be used as a tool for studying the effects of alternative assignment and rotation policies. Literature research and personal interviews with Air Force personnel active in the airman assignment and rotation system were used as information sources in the model development. The model structure is developed around the system goal of providing the proper number of enlisted personnel in the overseas and CONUS tours so the Air Force mission can be achieved. The model includes the important information feedback control loops of the airman assignment and rotation system for imbalanced AFSCs. Preliminary use of the model for policy analysis indicates that rotation policies should center around expansion of the CONUS rotation base. (Author)
