结论

Despite the Restrictive Requirements for Qualification, the Army Has a Potentially Large Pool of Suitable 17C Cyber MOS Applicants Every Year

  • Soldiers who qualify for 17C are more likely than others to remain in the Army through their first term, but they also appear to be somewhat less likely to reenlist.
  • The civilian occupation of information security analyst has substantial overlap with 17C duties and attracts many veterans.
  • Soldiers who do not reenlist may pursue civilian careers as information security analysts, but despite higher wages than many other occupations, information security analysts similar to enlisted soldiers have projected earnings comparable with military pay.
  • Data indicate the median pay for information security analysts with a college degree is considerably higher than Army enlisted compensation.

Actual Wages of Civilian Cyber Security Analysts May Not Match Soldiers' Perceptions

  • Retention efforts may be seriously hampered by the perceptions young enlisted soldiers might have regarding their civilian opportunities outside the Army.
摘要

In 2014, the Army established the Cyber career field as a basic branch, which includes the 17C military occupational specialty for enlisted cyber operations specialists. These soldiers require extensive training, and Army leadership is concerned that they will be lured away by lucrative jobs in the civilian labor market. This report describes findings that will help inform the Army's strategy for retaining these 17C soldiers. Our findings indicate that soldiers who qualify for 17C are more likely than others to remain in the Army through their first term; however, they also appear to be somewhat less likely to reenlist. In the civilian sector, information security analysts perform similar duties to 17Cs in the Army, and many information security analysts are veterans. Given that, 17C soldiers who do not reenlist may pursue civilian careers as information security analysts. Although information security analysts have higher wages than many other workers in the American workforce, projected earnings for information security analysts with characteristics similar to those of enlisted soldiers are comparable with military pay. However, the data indicate that the median pay for information security analysts with a college degree is considerably higher than Army enlisted compensation. It is important to note that our analysis focused on the actual wages of information security personnel, not the perceived wages. Retention efforts may be seriously hampered by the perceptions young enlisted soldiers might have regarding their civilian opportunities outside the Army. Therefore, managing this new occupation will require attention.
