Based on indications of increased difficulty in meeting recruiting goals, in spring 1994 the Army Chief of Staff and the Deputy of Secretary of Defense asked RAND to examine recent trends in the recruiting market and to assesss their implications for meeting accession requirements. An initial examination of the 1994 market concluded that the pool of interested high-quality young men was adequate to meet DoD needs. But the system appeared to be less effective in tapping into this supply of potential enlistees. The longer-term analysis, reported here, confirms the reduced effectiveness of recruiting, and also finds that the significant increase in FY97's accessions required to sustain the postdrawdown force, coupled with a smaller decline in youth's interest in military service, translates into a possible supply shortage.

This analysis modeled the Army’s ability to increase (“regenerate”) its active component (AC) end strength over a five-year period in two scenarios—starting from a Total Army of 980,000 (450,000 AC) and starting from a Total Army of 920,000 (420,000 AC)—so that the Army could provide the number of deployable troops available at the end of the last conflict in 2010.

The authors identified current and desired data-enabled practices in military outreach and recruiting processes. The authors then identified ways that the U.S. Department of Defense and the services might be able to further deploy data-driven outreach and recruiting strategies and barriers to doing so that need to be addressed. This report summarizes information collected from stakeholders, subject-matter experts, and the literature.

Senior leaders often broadly appreciate the relevance of behavioral and social science research but are not able to readily compare the value of screening tests, interventions, or other factors with the benefits of operational programs or of tools to address different sets of outcomes. This report assesses a series of studies and translates their results into potential cost avoidance estimates and other benefits that senior leaders value.
