<p>RA requested that these models be  examined in an effort to combine the functionality of each. This thesis builds a  model that does just that.  The fundamental concept of the model involves taking the current  inventory of Marines (by military occupational specialty [MOS] and grade) and  applying transition rates to each of them in order to determine how many are in  what state at the end of the upcoming year. The necessary number of  reenlistments is then calculated by subtracting the forecasted inventory from a  desired force structure known as the Grade Adjusted Recapitulation. Manpower  planners can use the results of this model to establish the number of boat spaces  for each of the first-term MOSs as well as recommended reenlistment goals for  the subsequent-term MOSs.
