Scope

• Importance and Relevance
• Strategic Environment for USN
• Systems Approach to Shore Manpower Requirements
• Inputs
• Processes
• Outputs
• Issues of Concern

6
Topic Importance and Relevance

• Important for national security
• Direct future job relevance
• Manpower specialists heavily involved, source
  of expert advice to decision-makers
  
• Must understand the system
• Must understand the broader implications of
  defense strategy and policy changes

7
System Dynamics in MPT

• Continual process manpower requirements
  programming, personnel planning (recruiting,
  training) distribution
  
• Impact of other policy changes will flow through
  to all quadrants in MPT model
  
• Time lags between implementation and effect
  advice to senior decision makers

8
Multi-Disciplinary Approach

• Manpower specialists draw on a wide range of
  knowledge, skills and attitudes
  
• Organizational design
• HR management
• Cost accounting
• Leadership
• Modeling and forecasting
• Labor economics and econometrics
• The conundrum - balance the competing demands to
  grow the capability

Manpower Requirements Process Simons Decision
Making Process

• Intelligence - Identify the Mission from National
  Security Policy, National Military Strategy and
  CNOs Strategy Why, What, When, Where
  and How
• Design - Determine Requirements Preferred
  Solution
  
• Choice - Authorize Requirements What the USN can
  afford

10
Constraints

• Strategic Outlook
• Ever changing
• Need for agile and flexible forces
• Limited Budget
• Implies choices and decisions
• CNOs Priorities
• End Strength mandated by Congress FY2002
  376,000 tolerance 0.5 to 1
  

11
Assumptions

• Strategic Environment will continue to change
  flexible and responsive systems
  
• Future defense spending will continue to be
  constrained
  
• Individual Services remain responsible for
  determining MPT requirements

12
Strategic Environment

• Quadrennial Defense Review regular and periodic
  assessment of US Defense
  
• US Defense Policy Goals
• Enduring Naval Roles
• 2001 Transformational Capabilities
• Manpower specialist must understand the
  strategic environment

13
US Defense Policy Goals

• Assure allies and friends
• Dissuade future military competition
• Deter threats and coercion against U.S.
  interests
  
• If deterrence fails, decisively defeat any
  adversary

14
Enduring Naval Roles

• Assurance and Deterrence
• Command of the Seas
• Power Projection
• Homeland Security
• Ensure free sea-lanes of communication

15
Transformational Capabilities 2001

• Sea Strike intelligence, information operations,
  time sensitive strike
  
• Sea Shield theater air and missile defense, ASW,
  homeland defense
  
• Sea Basing faster deployment and employment
  times
  
• Developing new capabilities will require sound
  manpower advice to maximize the return on
  investment

DefinitionManpower Requirements

• Manpower requirements provide the Navy a
  dynamic system for planning, programming and
  budgeting total force manpower resources to
  support the operating forces and the shore
  establishment under peacetime and wartime
  conditions.

Requirement Priorities

• Priority 1 Vital to the highest national
  interests, some degree of priority manning for an
  indefinite period of time
  
• Priority 2 Essential to the national interest,
  specified period of time
  
• Priority 3 Specific need for mission
  accomplishment
  
• Authorization - CNO Priorities 1 2, Manning
  Control Authority Priority 3

19
Key Players

• Resource Sponsors
• Claimants
• NAVMAC

20
Inputs

• Policy OPNAVINST 1000.16J
• Fleet three key dynamic documents
• Required Operational Capability (ROC)
• Projected Operational Environment (POE)
• Activitys workload
• Shore
• Mission Function Task Statement (MFT)

21
Mission, Function and Task Statement (MFT)

• Shore equivalent of ROC/POE
• Each shore command writes and signs its own MFT
  statement (not NAVMAC)
  
• Claimants determine or validate requirements
  using the MFT statements of individual commands

22
Manpower Requirements Process

• Fleet and Shore Manpower Requirements are
  determined and authorized separately
  
• Overview - both systems
• Concentrate on Shore Manpower Requirements Process

23
Three Key Processes

• Determination first principles assessment of
  the manpower requirements
  
• Validation review of existing manpower
  requirements to ensure relevance
  
• Authorization the final step of applying
  funding to individual billets

24
Assumptions are in YELLOW, answers in RED and
processes in BLUE.
25
Shore Manpower Requirements Process

• Based on peacetime/m1 workload and MFT
• Each Shore Command writes and signs its own MFT
  Statement
  
• Interactive process between Resource Sponsor and
  Claimant no surprises

Sequence of Tasks
29
Program Goals

• Optimum use of resources
• Dollars and facilities
• Billet and position quality
• Sea-shore rotation
• Establish justifiable manpower requirements for
  peacetime and mobilization

30
Planning

• Determine the areas of concern focus
• Establish the manpower baseline
• Send a draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) to
  activity for review
  
• Considers two scenarios peacetime and
  mobilization

31
Data Gathering Analysis

• Authenticate mission, functions and tasks
• Evaluate organizational structure
• Refine PWS and workload indicators
• Conduct work measurement
• Develop Statement of Manpower Requirements
  (SMR/MSMR)
  
• Assemble the study audit trail

32
Review and Implementation Phase

• Draft report is prepared and distributed for
  review and comment
  
• Sponsor approves and submits the SMR/MSMR Report
  to NAVMAC
  
• Contingency plans developed

33
Managing Requirements

• Fiscal constraints restrict buying all the
  manpower requirements specified
  
• Resource Sponsors must choose the amount of
  mission/workload to fund
  
• Claimants must choose which requirements to
  authorize

34
Authorization
35
Overall Picture Operational Readiness
36
Outputs

• Manpower Documents (Fleet - SMD, SQMD, FMD, AMD
  Shore SMR and MSMR)
  
• Identify Manpower Spaces for operational units
  and shore establishments to achieve their
  mission
  
• Distribute Personnel to fill authorized spaces
  with faces

37
Statement of Manpower Requirements (SMR)

• Validated requirements for shore based
  activities
  
• Each claimant is responsible for managing its
  process of determination based on MFT
  
• Claimants approve quantitative and qualitative
  manpower requirements for a shore activity
  
• Mobilization Statement of Requirements (MSMR)
  same format

38
Manpower Requirements Information Systems
39
Issues of Concern

• Separate Processes for Fleet and Shore
  Requirements is this a bad thing?
  
• Shore requirements determination by individual
  claimants more centralized, how does learning
  occur?
  
• Minimum manpower requirements for ships,
  squadrons, fleet and base units is there a
  minimum threshold?

40
Summary

• Understand the strategic environment
• Requirements Process similar to Simons
  decision making process
  
• Requirements Process is different between fleet
  and shore units
  
• Fleet centralized through NAVMAC
• Shore decentralized, flexibility for individual
  commands and activity
