结论
  • Older individuals represent a potential growth area for Army recruiting.
  • The quality of older recruits is generally high.
  • Age, in itself, does not appear to pose a significant barrier to accession.
  • Older recruits attrite at higher rates during basic training, at lower rates in their first term.
  • Accession of older recruits may require more time and resources.
  • Recruiters typically do not specifically target older recruits.
  • Virtual recruiting may be especially important for older recruits.
  • Recruiting of older individuals requires targeted messaging.
摘要

The Army is facing an increasingly difficult recruiting environment. Although the Army has traditionally focused most of its recruiting efforts on high school diploma holders ages 18 to 24, a 2014 RAND Corporation report suggested that, as a group, older recruits score higher on enlistment qualification tests than those who join before age 20, have attained higher levels of education or have greater life experience, and, once in service, are more likely than younger recruits to reenlist and to be promoted.

,

In this project, sponsored by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, a team from the RAND Arroyo Center examined the potential for recruiting individuals above the age of 21, identified barriers to recruitment, and proposed strategies for addressing those barriers. The authors analyzed the issues from both the supply and demand perspectives to derive an actionable set of recommendations for ways to improve recruitment among older individuals.

,

It is important to acknowledge that this research was conducted in fiscal year 2019 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic; while the authors provide comments throughout on issues and recommendations on which the pandemic may have a substantial impact, pandemic-specific experiences were not the focus of the analysis.
