Automated Fradulent Enlistment Detection System. A Study of the Fradulent Enlistment Problem.

摘要

In recent years, increases in military pay compensation and benefits have made the Armed Forces a lucrative job opportunity for individuals of enlistment age. Some individuals, who are found to be unfit for military service at one Armed Forces Examining and Entrance Station (AFEES), go to another AFEES and attempt to enlist in the Armed Forces by concealing the source of their previous disqualification; these individuals are referred to as fraudulent enlistees. This study proposes the development and implementation of an automated detection system, referred to as the Automated FED system, to resolve this problem. The Automated FED system consists of a centralized, tape-based computer system located at Hq USAREC which is linked to each AFEES by remote communication terminals. The system has been designed to incorporate the existing hardware and operational procedures of USAREC's AFEES Reporting System (ARS), and provides each AFEES with the capability to query a data base located at Hq USAREC so that fraudulent enlistees may be detected and their processing terminated. The data base consists of records for all applicants processed in the AFEES system within the previous year but not enlisted. The data records contain only that information required to sufficiently identify the fraudulent enlistee and disqualification reason(s).
