Durirg a survey of the recruitment practices of the
military services for Reserve and National Guard personnel,
several potential problems were noted. Findings/Conclusions:
There are significant differences in the policies and procedures
that each reserve component uses in recruiter selection
criteria, deployment, length of training and topic coverage, and
utilization. The Peserves appear to be coordinating their
recruiting advertising programs with the active forctsa, but the
Guard components are acting independently. The effectiveness of
advertising was questioned in a previous GAO report. The
capability of the existinq management to implement expanded
recruitment programs will determine whether the desired results
are ach.eved. Consideration should be given to analyzing the
cost benefits and effectiveness of trends towards a nonprior
service program compared with maximizing the potential of prior
service personnel. Various service enlistment options should be
studied. k change in assumptions about the eligible male
, ulation could change the recruiting emphasis and should be
studied. (Author/FTW)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaacnq0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
