Abstract:

The reporting of skill tempo SKILLTEMPO in the Army is currently limited to the average number of days deployed by military occupational specialty MOS. While useful in some respects, this aggregation across deployment categories potentially obscures key characteristics of the deployments, which the senior Army leadership may find useful. This analysis attempts to determine if there are more informative measures to report SKILLTEMPO that will better inform the senior Army leadership about the character and effects of ongoing deployments on the Army.
