Military Personnel Analytics
Acquire, train, distribute and retain military personnel to meet a broad spectrum of mission needs
" We must avoid our historical pattern of drawing down too fast and getting too small, especially since our record of predicting the future has not been very good. As we make difficult resource decisions, we must be thoughtful in understanding the risk we incur to our nation's future security."
— General Raymond Odierno, United States Senate Armed Services Committee Confirmation Hearing, July 21, 2011
