结论
  • Under a COA where the CP multiplier is set at the floors mandated by Congress, the study predicts that the BRS can support a steady-state force for the RA, USAR, and ARNG that is quite close to the current forces for enlisted personnel, but not for officers in each component. Officer RA retention is too low relative to the baseline, and USAR and ARNG participation levels are too high.
  • The simulations indicate that the BRS can jointly sustain force size in all three components under a COA with CP multipliers higher than the mandated floor for officers, though CP costs are four times higher for USAR officers at the higher CP multipliers.
  • For USAR officers, predicted opt-in rates vary with the CP course of action. Setting CP multipliers high enough to sustain retention increases the opt-in rate. Opt-in rates for both USAR enlisted and officers are highest among those with the fewest years of service who have the most years to benefit from thrift savings plan contributions made on their behalf and from CP.
  • The opt-in rates predicted by the dynamic retention model used in the analysis were higher than the actual opt-in rates. This suggests that the model, despite fitting the data well and predicting retention behavior well under the current compensation system, may require more data and information about the factors that influenced members when choosing between the legacy retirement system and the new BRS.
摘要

The new Blended Retirement System (BRS) represents the first major change to the armed services' retirement system since the end of World War II. The analysis in this report assesses the potential impact of the BRS on the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) participation and continuation pay (CP) cost and provides predictions of opt-in behavior.

,

A key finding is that USAR participation can be sustained relative to the legacy system if CP is set at optimized levels. Furthermore, CP levels affect the likelihood that currently serving members elect the BRS, thereby affecting the USAR's time pattern of retirement cost, and cost savings, relative to the legacy system.

,

The authors conducted this research under a project sponsored by the Office of the Chief, Army Reserve. The project's aim was to provide estimates of the change in costs for the USAR due to the BRS in the transition years and the number of participants, as a result of both new entry to the USAR and election by serving members.
