The Director, Total Force Management, Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness and the Deputy Director, Analysis and Integration, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation asked the Institute for Defense Ana lyses (IDA) to examine and evaluate the current and projected use of the Total Force mix on the portion of the cyberspace operations workforce addressed by the CMF. IDA examined current cyberspace doctrine, tactics, and other relevant concepts of employment for the CMF to apply the procedures for determining workforce mix found in Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1100.22, Policy and Procedures for Determining Workforce Mix. Additionally, we used DoDI 7041.04, Estimating and Comparing the Full Costs of Civilian and Active Duty Military Manpower and Contract Support, to estimate the manpower costs of the CMF staffing plans...

This document does not examine these R and D advances exhaustively or in detail. It provides a brief description of the advances, summarizes their potential impact, highlights some organizations pursuing work in these areas, and points out prospective DMSMS applications. It is designed to be an initial step in increasing awareness and categorizing some of the more important R and D advances that may affect DMSMS management.

(Slides 17-18) Growth in total health care demand since 2004 has been met predominantly through increases in purchased care. The DC for active duty outpatient services and purchased care for other beneficiaries and active duty inpatient services. (Slides 19-25) Depression is the most frequent DHP PH diagnosis. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is more frequent among veterans receiving Veteran's Affairs (VA) disability payments. There is high co-morbidity among patents with PH diagnoses. (Slides 26-27) 3 Slide 3. Executive Summary: Background I This study focuses particular attention on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for three reasons: first, it is frequently related to combat stress, and, thus, brings into focus interrelationships between line and medical responsibilities for the effectiveness and treatment of service members; second, because of its historical antecedents (shell shock, battle fatigue, and combat exhaustion) and the long history of attempts to deal with them; and third, because of the very high costs it imposes in disability payments to those whom treatment has failed to cure. In part because the symptoms of PTSD range widely in severity, estimates of its incidence vary markedly with the instruments used to detect it. This problem is explored in depth in the section of this document dealing with the prediction of wartime medical requirements. vii The Costs of Disability (Slides 28-30) The total number of Gulf War VA disability recipients is now larger than the number of total Vietnam War recipients (the VA Gulf War category includes all veterans discharged since the beginning of Gulf War I). Vietnam PH recipients include many more PTSD cases, and outnumber Gulf War PH recipients by 33%. This implies that the Gulf War PTSD ranks will grow with time, as the Vietnam ranks continue to do. In 2010, VA disability payments to 1.14 million (M) Gulf War veterans totaled $11B, of which $4.6B was for PH disabilities. These totals, likewise, will probably increase over time as the ranks of the disabled grow and as average disabilities worsen (2010 disability payments to 1.11M Vietnam veterans totaled $17B). 4 Executive Summary: Background II Slide 4. Executive Summary: Background II viii Executive Summary: Three Problems in Resource Allocation I 1. Predicting and Managing Peacetime Demands (Slides 33-36) Future peacetime demand is projected from current demand, with adjustments for changes in beneficiary populations, per capita demand, and inflation. Demands that exceed projections are met with additional purchased care pending a cost-effective rebalancing of DC capacity. There is no mechanism that automatically adjusts the peacetime process in anticipation of wartime demands. Planning for PH care has not received the same emphasis as planning for physical care. The Psychological Health Risk Adjusted Model for Staffing (PHRAMS), which projects staffing needs from current caseloads, is not widely applied. The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) could not obtain its algorithms.
