- Summary:
-
This study examined the feasibility of a U.S. Army collegiate commissioning program (CCP) as a supplemental method of officer procurement. Investigated were the U.S. undergraduate population, Army procurement goals, program production capabilities, costs, and retention rates projected through fiscal year 1982. A sufficient college population will exist through fiscal year 1982 to meet projected officer procurement goals. However, existing officer programs may produce a significant annual deficit after 1980 because they do not thoroughly cover the collegiate population. Among the study's findings are that: (1) a CCP can initially produce 3,000-4,000 new officers per year; (2) CCP source officers will cost about $10,000 per capita; (3) CCP officers can be expected to experience a 15 to 28 percent retention rate beyond ten years' commissioned service; (4) expansion of existing Army procurement programs to meet projected officer goals is not cost-effective; (5) CCP can be expected to alleviate most of the officer shortfall; and (6) CCP will procure officers at a lower cost than any other program.
