Abstract:

Although military planners and researchers have used the phrases supply of manpower for military service or military personnel supply with increasing frequency, there is no commonly accepted definition of military manpower supply. This report addresses three principal methods used in personnel supply research, describing how supply is defined within each, along with corresponding strengths and weaknesses. Since no single approach provides a comprehensive understanding of supply, a prospectus for integrating these methods into a logical framework is presented.
