Abstract:

In 1980, ARI conducted a worldwide survey of Army aviators. The survey identified the demographic characteristics of AWOs who were leaving the Army and the career factors that were influencing the AWOs decisions to leave. ARIs findings subsequently became the focus of a series of initiatives that were developed by MILPERCEN to enhance retention of AWOs. As a follow-on to the survey, ARI currently is developing a separation questionnaire for AWOs. Information provided by the questionnaire will be used to establish a continuous feedback system about AWO retention. Methods will expand the retention feedback system to include commissioned officer aviators and aviators who remain in the Army are being considered for future research.
