Intention

1
Intention 14
Attract, recruit, develop and retain a diverse,
high-performing, competency-based, and
mission-focused force and ensure the welfare of
our Sailors, Navy civilians and their families
N1 recommended change
2
Question 1
What are we really trying to achieve with this
Intention?

• Create and maintain a propensity to serve within
  the US population that reflects the nations
  demographics
• Match entry-level qualifications to the work and
  use training processes to bridge gaps between
  individual skills and work requirements
• Provide sufficient monetary and non-monetary
  incentives to retain a career force to meet
  future work requirements and national
  demographics
• Provide for the welfare our Sailors, Navy
  civilians and their families, consistent with
  their honorable service

My challenge align MPTE processes and resources
to match the Total Force to the work requirements
defined by the Enterprises

Measures of Effectiveness
Total Force FIT
People
Work
Develop
Distribute
Billet Structure Quality
Supported/External
Retain
Recruit
Tone of the Force
Propensity
A hierarchy of metrics and measures exists but
the overall MOE is Total Force FIT

Question 2
What key strategic assumptions did you make when
deciding on the desired effects?

• Voluntary retention is the dominant consideration
  for an all-recruited force
• Monetary/non-monetary forces shape retention
  decisions
• Policies developed to achieve FIT must be
  balanced with cost and retention, as well as
  operational risk
• Compensation is tied to the individual for the AC
  and RC, and to the job for Navy civilians
• Underlying national demographics are changing

Question 3
Are there any remaining questions that should be
answered, or issues to be resolved, before we
finalize this desired effect?

• How much FIT granularity is enough?
• What is the linkage between increasing FIT
  percentage and improving warfighting readiness?
• How do we value education in a competency-based
  system?
• How do we balance statutory joint requirements
  for URL officers with Navy-centric work (AQD,
  subspecialty)?
• How much surge/shock absorber capacity is
  sufficient?

6
Question 6
What unintended, negative side-effects should be
avoided while achieving our indisputable result?

• Increased personnel costs (beyond normal
  inflation, non-discretionary cost growth) to
  deliver comparable readiness
• Careful attention to training costs
  particularly increase in the Individuals Account
• Instability in accession and promotion planning
  induced by strategic sourcing in a
  competency-based management system
• Declining retention and negative Tone of the
  Force metrics
• Loss of our ability to absorb shock in a
  tightly coupled system

7
Question 7
In your professional judgment, about how well are
we doing now?

• FIT is the organizing principle for all our MPTE
  processes
• Moving towards the 90 goal
• Shore duty is paying the bill for increased FIT
  at sea
• Tone of the Force is good
• ToF metrics trending positively
• Recruiting and retention are healthy initiatives
  underway to move the needles toward 2037
  diversity benchmarks
• IA Mission represents an increasing burden with
  decreasing end strength

And the challenge is coming.
