Workforce modelling tools used by the Canadian forces

Abstract
Military organizations are unique in that they require significantly more workforce planning than other organizations. Since personnel generally join the military at the lowest rank and then work their way up, personnel requirements must be forecasted well in advance to ensure a stable and sufficient workforce. Paramount to achieving this is determining the number of positions required at each rank in an occupation. For an occupation to be sustainable, it must have a sufficient number of positions at each rank, such that, for each pair of adjacent ranks, the lower rank can produce a sufficient number of personnel eligible for promotion to fill all vacancies that occur at the higher rank. The R3 Model and the EMES simulation were recently created to help the Canadian Forces assess the sustainability of their occupations. These models can be applied to all occupations, military or civilian, that follow a similar flow of personnel.
