ISBN: 0833039482 ISBN-13: 9780833039484 Publisher: RAND Corporation OUR PRICE: $19.00 Product Type: Paperback Published: July 2006 Annotation: Many of the laws and policies that govern officer career management (often referred to as DOPMA, after the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act of 1980) may not meet the requirements of the future operating environment. One criticism of DOPMA is that it does not allow for much variety in career paths because it is time-driven. The authors demonstrate how a competency-based system could provide more flexibility in preparing officers for the wide-ranging roles and missions of the 21st century military. |
