由于美国军事学院和预备役军官训练团毕业生的保留率较低，陆军最近推出了激励计划，学员可以申请3年的额外服务义务，以获得他们想要的分支机构的更高优先权。由于后备军官训练队的匹配机制不足，这一激励计划的全部潜力没有得到利用。我提出了一个设计，消除这些缺点，并减轻陆军已经确定的几个政策问题。与ROTC机制相比，我的设计更广泛地利用了市场原则，它是市场机制和基于优先级的分配机制之间的混合体。
Motivated by the low retention rates of US Military Academy and Reserve Officer Training Corps graduates, the Army recently introduced incentives programs in which cadets could bid 3 years of additional service obligation to obtain higher priority for their desired branches. The full potential of this incentives program is not utilized because of the ROTC’s deficient matching mechanism. I propose a design that eliminates these shortcomings and mitigates several policy problems the Army has identified. In contrast to the ROTC mechanism, my design utilizes market principles more extensively, and it is a hybrid between a market mechanism and a priority-based allocation mechanism.
