500    "Prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense." 
500    At head of title: National Defense Research Institute. 
504    Includes bibliographical references (pages 43-46). 
520    Although the military's need for enlisted personnel has 
       declined by almost one-third since the end of the cold war,
       the armed services are finding it difficult to meet their 
       recruiting goals. Among ongoing changes in the civilian 
       labor market is a strong demand for skilled labor, which 
       has prompted an increasing number of "high quality" youth 
       to pursue post-secondary education and subsequent civilian
       employment. Because of this competition for high quality 
       youth, the Department of Defense may want to explore new 
       options for attracting desirable young people into the 
       armed forces. The military, for example, offers a myriad 
       of options for service members to take college courses 
       while in active service. However, the programs do not in 
       fact generate significant increases in educational 
       attainment during time in service. 
520    One popular program, the Montgomery GI Bill, enrolls large
       numbers of individuals, but the vast majority of service 
       members use their benefits after separating from service. 
       Thus, the military does not receive the benefits of a more
       educated and productive workforce, unless the individuals 
       subsequently join a reserve component. The authors suggest
       the Department of Defense should consider nontraditional 
       policy options to enhance recruitment of college-bound 
       youth. Recruiters could target more thoroughly students on
       two-year college campuses, or dropouts from two- or four-
       year colleges. Options for obtaining some college before 
       military service could be expanded by allowing high school
       seniors to first attend college, paid for by the military,
       and then enlist. Or the student might serve in a reserve 
       component while in college and then enter an active 
       component after college. 
520    Alternatively, the military could create an entirely new 
       path for combining college and military service by 
       encouraging enlisted veterans to attend college and then 
       reenlist (at a higher pay grade). The most promising 
       alternatives should be evaluated in a national experiment 
       designed to test their effectiveness and cost-
       effectiveness, similar to the one that led to the creation
       of the Army College Fund and the Navy College Fund.
