Sea manning shortfalls have plagued the Navy over the latter part of the 1990s-with E4-E9 sea manning dropping below 90 percent for much of that time. The Navy considered two general solutions; ordering sailors to sea for longer or offering incentives for sailors to volunteer for additional sea duty. Although the assignment to sea duty is involuntary, the length sailors actually serve reflects both their sea duty obligation and their willingness to serve at sea. As we will document here, many sailors do not complete their sea tours, so lengthening sea tours may not be an effective way to improve manning. A recent CNA study used survey data to predict how sailors would respond if the Navy were to restructure sea pay, which is the Navy's primary distribution tool. In this annotated briefing, we look at historical data on the average time sailors spend at sea and relate them to changes in sea pay. Survey and anecdotal evidence exist, but little direct evidence links sea pay and time spent at sea. These data provide additional empirical evidence on sailors' response to sea duty incentives and the groundwork for a more detailed study in the future. In addition, as the Navy reforms sea pay it will need to monitor the system and change sea pay rates when necessary The measures we present here may provide a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of the reform.

In response to concerns about care and benefit disparities raised by United States Army service members severely injured in Iraq, the Defense Business Board (DBB) studied these concerns in order to bring them to the attention of senior leaders in the Department of Army and Department of Veterans Affairs. The Task Group limited its scope to those severely injured (as defined by Veterans Health Administration Directive 2009-018), determined unfit by the Physical Disability Evaluation System but approved for an exception to policy allowing the Wounded Warrior to remain on active duty.

This publication provides data on worldwide active duty military personnelcasualties as reported during the period October 1, 1979 through June 30, 1992. It is intended to provide summary information for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and various other Department of Defense (DoD) and Federal Government offices. The information has been generated from an automated data base of casualty information certified and reported monthly by the military services. Hence, responsibility for the accuracy of these data is that of each of the reporting military services.

The duties carried out by a Member of Congress are understood to include representation, legislation, and constituent service and education, as well as political and electoral activities. The expectations and duties of a Member of Congress are extensive, encompassing several roles that could be full-time jobs by themselves. Despite the acceptance of these roles and other activities as facets of the Members job, there is no formal set of requirements or official explanation of what roles might be played as Members carry out the duties of their offices. In the absence of formal authorities, many of the responsibilities that Members of Congress have assumed over the years have evolved from the expectations of Members and their constituents.

The military reserves provide trained service members and units that are available for active military duty during peacetime and war. Over the past decade, the Department of Defense (DoD) has dramatically increased its reliance on the reserve forces, particularly since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The reserves are integral to current operations. Of service members deployed in December 2006 in Iraq and Afghanistan, about 25 percent were reservists, and that figure has risen to more than 33 percent at times since the conflicts began. The total number of reservists called up through March 2007 exceeded 580,000. In addition, DoD foresees continued reliance on the reserves, possibly increasing the involvement of the Army National Guard in the coming year. (Throughout my testimony, reserves refers to the individual services National Guard and reserve components: the Air Force Reserve, the Air National Guard, the Army Reserve, the Army National Guard, the Marine Corps Reserve, and the Navy Reserve.) Yet many reservists, when they joined the military, probably did not anticipate the increased frequency and duration of the activations that have occurred during the past several years and may be finding those mobilizations more disruptive than they might have expected. To alleviate difficulties with call-ups, the Congress has enacted legislation to provide civil and employment protections and financial relief. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA), the primary legislation governing service members employment rights, guarantees the right of reservists to be reemployed by their civilian employer after serving on active duty, prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals in any aspect of employment because of their service in the reserves, and mandates some continuation of benefits to reservists who have been activated.
