Processes for determining U.S. Air Force manpower requirements vary considerably across and within the variety of workforces employed to meet Air Force missions. The relevant workforces include active duty military personnel, full-time and part-time Air Force Reserve (AFR) and Air National Guard (ANG) military personnel, civilian employees, and contractors. Distinctive processes have been developed for quantifying needs for operational, maintenance, and non- maintenance agile combat support workforces. Prioritization among requirements is reached through the programming and budgeting processes of the Air Force Corporate Structure, but that structure depends on the development of manpower standards, manpower modeling, and other similar processes to identify the unconstrained manpower costs of executing and supporting various missions. Our primary focus in this report is on those quantitatively oriented manpower requirements processes and the extent to which they are validated, coordinated, and consistent. We also explore the qualitative side of personnel requirements, whereby, through specialty classification standards and other related processes, the required competencies of various workforces are specified.

This report documents research examining requirements across all Air Force functional areas for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-degreed officers and officerequivalent civilians. It documents current STEM requirements, classifies disciplines as STEM or non-STEM, summarizes the prevalence of STEM degrees in the current officer-level workforce, and presents STEM requirements gathered from Air Force career field managers (CFMs) through a structured interview process. Based on the study findings, this report makes recommendations for improvements to the determination, documentation, and projection of STEM degree requirements. The research reported here was commissioned by the Air Force Deputy Assistant Secretary for Acquisition Integration, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition (SAF/AQX), and by the Director, Force Development, Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, Headquarters U.S. Air Force (HQ USAF/A1D) as part of fiscal year 2012 project Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), and was conducted within the Manpower, Personnel, and Training Program of RAND Project AIR FORCE. This report should be of interest to Air Force leadership and staff involved in the policy and execution of officer accessions, civilian hiring, and the management of the STEM workforce.
