Pension Plan: Suggesting an Alternative Military Retirement System

Více o knize

The book addresses the challenges faced by the Air Force during a drawdown, emphasizing the limitations of the current military retirement system, which hinders effective personnel management and financial flexibility. It critiques the 20-year vesting requirement and the defined benefit system, arguing that these structures restrict leaders from optimizing mid-career force management. The proposed alternative is a defined contribution system, allowing service members to invest retirement funds in equity markets, potentially leading to significant cost savings and better personnel strategies.
