reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1150850 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Dependent Entry Authorization (DEA) quota is the Navy's approval, by area commanders, to grant permission to bring dependents to an assigned area of operation outside of the United States. The DEA quota restricts most dependents from accompanying their families, specifically to Bahrain. The family member limitation is problematic for Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Bahrain, impacting interest level of skilled and qualified personnel to consider FLC Bahrain as a place of employment and to contribute to the effective accomplishment of the FLC Bahrain mission. This MBA professional project analyzes the impacts the DEA quota has on attracting qualified personnel and the effects the quota has on FLC Bahrain effectiveness and mission accomplishment. Survey data collected from the NAVSUP enterprise is used to identify causes of deterrence and incentives for taking positions in Bahrain. We provide recommendations that FLC Bahrain may implement to mitigate the DEA quota's negative effects to its organization's mission and effectiveness. The project's goal is to offer solutions for improving the pool of quality personnel interested in FLC Bahrain that will increase the effectiveness of the organization.
