Over the past several years, the military Services have reduced theirforces substantially. Military skill groups have been consolidated beforeand during that reduction. Such consolidations can benefit organizations. As a result of visits to military units and anecdotal reports from thefield, some members of Congress became concerned that the skillconsolidations were eroding readiness and expressed a particular concernabout maintenance skills in two Services.

Develops an overall force-management framework for identifying roles and organizations to provide analysis and diagnosis of understrength conditions and to also execute appropriate policy interventions to solve the problems. Key to force management as a whole is operational-level (career-field) force management, which provides both the policy framework that guides tactical-level (individual career) management and the basic informational input for strategic-level (total Air Force workforce) decisions.

"Air Force specialty codes, similar to Army and Marine Corps military occupational specialties and Navy officer designators and enlisted ratings, establish personnel-classification boundaries according to the work performed and the required skills, education, and training. The specialties combine duties and tasks into cohesive job clusters that may be matched to people possessing the essential aptitudes, attributes, and qualifications. Given the Air Force's evolving missions, changing nature of work, and changing workforce, several senior Air Force leaders have asked whether the existing specialty codes still provide the appropriate clustering of specialties. This technical report examines the current officer-classification structure while seeking to determine whether more fundamental changes are needed. It provides a brief primer on the specialty-classification system, encapsulates major changes that are in progress and planned, and offers additional changes based on interviews and comparative analyses. Although the research focused primarily on the officer structure, many of the observations have correlates in the enlisted-specialty structure. Specialty-classification components need continuous maintenance and periodic upgrades. One recommendation is that the continuous process improvement initiatives, such as Air Force Smart Operations 21, be expanded to include reducing the overall cycle time for specialty-classification changes."--Publisher's website
