Summary

This report responds to the request of the former Chairman and the current Ranking Member that we review the attrition rates of first-term, active-duty military personnel who are separated within the first 6 months of their enlistments. Specifically, we (1) calculated how much the services could save by achieving their goals for reducing 6-month attrition, (2) determined the adequacy of the data that the Department of Defense uses to allow it to establish realistic goals for reducing attrition, and (3) identified the principal reasons that enlistees are separated from the services while they are still in training
