Major changes in the advanced education of officers have always occurred following a wartime period. In the post-Vietnam period 1 change can again be anticipated and educational policy should be reviewed . The overall objective of Navy postgraduate education is to provide an efficient springboard for the continued professional development of career officers. This objective is broken down in the FY 1974 DOD Military Manpower Training Report in terms of five specific military needs: (1) The need to fill specified billets in which graduate education is essential for optimum performance of duty. (2) The need for a well-educated pool of manpower from which to select leaders and policy makers of the future. (3) The need to sustain morale and job satisfaction -- many officers seek personal fulfillment through higher education and its application in their work . (4) The need for satisfactory career progression -- in the all-volunteer force environment of the future 1 the military must attract prospective officers who see industry and government organizations providing advanced educational opportunities for their employees. (5) The need for military officers to keep abreast of developments in the civilian sector -- the military officer cannot function insulated and divorced from the civilian society. The current postgraduate education system has been developed in keeping with res policy issued in 1964 1 and is addressed primarily to the first of these five needs. The subspecialty areas defined in OpNav Instruction 1211.6D of January 1973 1 the related nineteen career management communities under OTMS, and educational programs in the traditional academic disciplines have all been carefully refined and matched over the last decade by OpNav and BuPers to define requirements and gain efficient utilization of both URL subspecialist and restricted duty officers. The Navy's Postgraduate education system has been a clear success I both in terms of numbers and of recognition by the promotion system. During the years 1964-1972 I the fraction of URL officers in the grade of LCDR and above with postgraduate education has increased from 24% to 38% 1 and the fraction of Flag officers so educated has increased from 33% to 52%. If restricted duty* officers are included in the count, these numbers become 29% to 44%, and 40% to 56% respectively. Yet with all the effort given by the Navy, this system has not worked to reflect high utilization. In a recent study, 36% of all URL subspecialist officers had never served in a related billet, and only 48% of the validated subspecialist billets were manned by officers with a related subspecialty. The discrepancy between actually having a highly educated URL officer corps and the apparent utilization of their education when measured by specified disciplines in pre- determined billets speaks for itself despite a decade where the subspecialty system has been emphasized. ; Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

The Brainpower Forum was established as an industry-education-government forum which had the objective of brining together representatives of ISF's members in these three categories for the purpose of developing policy on common problems in the area of scientific manpower. One of the Foundation's military members, the U.S. Naval Postgraduate Schoo. offered its facility to the Forum and the first conference in the series was held in Monterey, October 24-25 1956. The second was August 5-8 1956. This is the third conference. Participants included from the Naval Postgraduate School: A. E. Vivell, Sydney H. Kalmbach, Thomas E. Oberbeck, L. W. Williams, E. E. Yeomans

Held August 6-8, 1958, U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California ; [A]t the invitation of Rear Admiral Earl E. Stone, USN, then Superintendent of the U. S. Naval Postgraduate Scrnol, approximately sixty leaders in industry, government, and education met in Monterey, California, October 24-25, 1956, for the first conference of the !SF Brainpower Forum. This conference served to highlight the fact that we had not effectively utilized all sources of scientific manpower which were presently available. At the recommendations of the Forum partici- pants, the International Science Foundation initiated a continuing pro- gram in the area of scientific manpower and suggested that several of its members set up projects which would provide answers to some of the problems considered at the 1956 conference. As a matter of first priority, it was decided to give consideration to the gains that might be realized by giving recognition to and seeking better utilization of retired or senior professional manpower. The 1958 conference was held to give Forum participants an opportunity to report on projects in the area of senior scientific manpower that were conducted as a result of suggestions made at the 1956 conference. Among the NPS participants: Roy S. Glasgow, Dean; Captain H. M. Heming, USN, Director, Engineering School; Frank E. LaCauza, Academic Chairman, General Line and Naval Science School; Captain Paul Foley, Jr., USN, Chief of Staff; Dr. Austin R. Frey, Chairman, Department of Physics; Mitchell L. Cotton, Assistant Professor of Engineering Electronics ; The following members of the International Science Foundation have served as the sponsors of this 1958 Conference of the Brainpower Forum: Stauffer Chemical Company, General Electric Company, U. S. Army Ordnance Missile Command. U. S. Naval Postgraduate School, Cooperative Research Institute, The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, Federal Pacific Electric Company, Rheem Manufacturing Company, Northrop Aircraft, Inc., Standard Oil Company of California, Varian Associates, Ford Motor Company, Tidewater Oil Company
