Description
Summary:Enlistment objectives are presently assigned by the United States Air Force to each of its Recruiting Groups on the basis of the proportion of the general population residing in the area covered by that group. In the present report, information is presented concerning differences in the aptitudes and willingness to serve in the Air Force of potential enlistees in the Recruiting Groups. A method is illustrated whereby enlistment objectives are established which take into account such differences with the result that each Recruiting Group is given a more equitable share of the total enlistment quota. A further revision is suggested which would permit each Recruiting Group to subdivide its own enlistment objectives on the basis of the sizes of the cities and communities within its recruiting area.
