Abstract:

This report describes the development of a preliminary method for allocating pay grade promotions to year of service YOS cells at the all Marine Corps ALMAR level in the prototype inventory projection model IPM. For FY81 through FY86, historical promotion data by pay grade and YOS at the end of each fiscal year were used for the analysis. The analysis showed that for all pay grades, the distribution of promotions across YOS has changed. Two techniques were used to produce a promotion allocation table to be used in the IPM. In a comparison with the actual YOS distribution of ALMAR promotions in FY87, the naive method out performed the IPM promotion allocation table. Further research is needed to explore a method that does not solely rely on the historical distributions. Keywords Enlisted promotionsAdvancement, Manpower planning, Management planning and control, Marine Corps personnel.
