The process requires CFMs to predict specific vacancies three to five years before they occur, which can be difficult and produces inaccuracies that can lead to a shortfall of officers qualified to fill positions that require an AAD or to an oversupply of officers with AADs, which unnecessarily increases Air Force costs. This report examines the Air Force process for producing, allocating, and assigning officers with master's and doctorate degrees. The authors find that a relatively low percentage of officers with master's or doctorate degrees were matched to a billet that requires that degree and academic specialty in fiscal years 2000 through 2010. The authors provide a methodology for determining the required production level of officers who earn AADs, and this report serves as a user's guide for the modeling tools that illustrate the methodology.Air ForcesHILCCMilitary & Naval ScienceHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCAir ForcesMilitary & Naval ScienceLaw, Politics & GovernmentTerry Tara L1243573Robbert Albert AFiroz Perry ShameemBoon John E.Jr.Moore S.
