Individual military occupational skills (MOS) and basic soldier skills are significantly diminishing, particularly in the maintenance specialties, due to an overburden of administrative tasks, overuse of government contracting, and occasionally toxic leaders.
The problems affect all active duty, reserve, and national guard components, except for administrative tasks being the most detrimental to the Army Reserve and National Guard components due to limited time available to perform tasks. These problems lead to organizational ethical and diversity implications, including disparate treatment of military personnel, inconsistently applied policies, and discrimination.
The questions for research 1) What is adequate training time for National Guard and Reservists to remain confident in performing their MOS? 2) How does the overburden of Administrative taskings and toxic leadership degrade MOS skills, leading to ethical and diversity issues?
