As U.S. military forces appear overcommitted and some ponder a possible return to the draft, the timing is ideal for a review of how the American military transformed itself over the past five decades, from a poorly disciplined force of conscripts and draft-motivated "volunteers" to a force of professionals revered throughout the world. Starting in the early 1960s, this account runs through the current war in Iraq, with alternating chapters on the history of the all-volunteer force and the analytic background that supported decisionmaking. The author participated as an analyst and government policymaker in many of the events covered in this book. His insider status and access offer a behind-the-scenes look at decisionmaking within the Pentagon and White House. The book includes a foreword by former Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird. The accompanying DVD contains more than 1,700 primary-source documents-government memoranda, Presidential memos and letters, staff papers, and reports-linked directly from citations in the electronic version of the book. This unique technology presents a treasure trove of materials for specialists, researchers, and students of military history, public administration, and government affairs to draw upon.

Military organizations across the world are faced with challenges in recruiting and retaining high-quality personnel because of increasing inter-sectoral competition, changes in social values, and low unemployment. Although intrinsic motivation, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and job stress are essential for employee retention and performance, there has been little research into these factors within the military sector. The three separate studies that compose this dissertation were undertaken to investigate the impact of soldiers' behaviors and attitudes on individual's performance and to examine differences in the organizational attitudes and individual performances of conscripts versus volunteer soldiers. The first study examines the relationship between intrinsic motivation and individual performance and explores whether this relationship is mediated by job stress. The second paper explores differences in affective organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and individual performance between conscripts versus volunteer soldiers. This study also investigates the impact of job satisfaction on affective organizational commitment and individual performance in the military sector. The third study investigates whether there are differences in intrinsic motivation, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction between conscripts and volunteer soldiers. This study investigates the impact of intrinsic motivation on organizational commitment and job satisfaction in the military sector. The results of the three studies note three significant findings: (1) intrinsic motivation has a negative association with job stress, and the relationship between intrinsic motivation and military performance is mediated by job stress; (2) volunteer soldiers have higher job satisfaction and total fitness levels than conscripts, and job satisfaction has a statistically significant positive effect on affective organizational commitment and total fitness levels in military organizations; and (3) volunteer soldiers have higher intrinsic motivation, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction than conscripts. Intrinsic motivation has a statistically significant positive effect on military organizations' organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are also discussed in the study.

The all-volunteer force, the historic norm in peacetime America, was reestablished in the U.S. on 30 June 1973, when induction authority expired. But never before had the U.S. attempted to field a standing Army in peacetime -- based on voluntary enlistments -- with the worldwide responsibilities that faced this force. Since the mid-1980s the ability of the armed forces to recruit and retain quality volunteers has not been seriously questioned. This book takes us through those years of transition, examining both the context in which the end of the draft occurred and the perspective which the Army's leaders brought to bear on the challenge they faced.
