Final Report of the Panel on the Department of Defense Human Capital Strategy

In response to the 2006 QDR, DoD created a human capital strategy (HCS) that could provide more flexibility in quickly accessing the right skills at the right place. It called for three initiatives: competency-based occupational planning, performance-based management, and enhanced opportunities for personal and professional growth. A panel of experts convened by RAND reviewed the HCS. This report presents the panel’s conclusions and recommendations.
