Abstract

The Army Manpower Long-Range Planning System (MLRPS) provides the analytical capability to project the strength of the active U.S. Army for 20 years, thus allowing for the development of long-range manpower plans. The system's models simulate the interaction of gains, losses, promotions and reclassifications to enable the analyst to determine the impact of existing policies over the long term, and to determine changes that might be required to reach a desired force. The MLRPS currently supports the personnel planning requirements of the Army Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel in long-range planning, policy planning and force structure analysis, and cost analysis. This article describes the system's main elements and component subsystems.
