Through analysis of many alternatives, develops two concepts for reforming the military compensation system, both of which retain positive aspects of the current system while addressing criticisms related to fairness and fiscal sustainability.

Simulations based on the dynamic retention model are developed to assess how compensation policy, including pay freezes and unpaid furloughs, affects retention of federal civil service workers.

Using the Dynamic Retention Model, this report evaluates the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission's proposed reforms to military compensation and retirement, especially their ability to sustain the current force size/shape.

In a multimethod analysis, RAND researchers assess whether the military should continue using its 40-year pay table to retain experienced personnel or whether such retention could be equally achieved with a 30-year pay table.
