Alternate target generation processes were developed and evaluated for the purpose of leading to better maintenance of Army personnel operating strength relative to authorized strength within the E5/E6 enlisted promotion system. 'Targets' are adjusted projected authorizations used to determine future manpower requirements. Evaluation of alternate target generation processes was based on simulation of the E5/E6 promotion system for 12 successive months (Feb 1987-Jan 1988) over all MOS in grades E5 and E6. Three target generation process. The key observation of the study is that operating strength for E5/E6 can be maintained close to authorized strength, even when statistical smoothing of fluctuations in the authorizations is essentially eliminated. Promotions to enlisted grades E5 and E6 are currently determined relative to complex computational derivations of the authorizations, not to the raw authorizations.
