A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This project provides validated data to identify the root causes of problems and to optimize services associated with the health care delivery to Navy and Marine Corps personnel afloat and in contingency operations. This usually requires database and model development and statistical analyses of inter-related requirements or operational variables, and their impact on performance. The analysis of these variables requires a combination of medical/technical knowledge and operational perspectives.

(U) PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PLANS:

2. (U) FY 1996 ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

(U) ($79K) Entered the data from survey returned by women who visited any of three major Naval hospitals in 1993 as pregnant active-duty Navy women. Commenced analysis of survey data to assess risk-factor information, pregnancy outcome, gestational age, and birth weight. Produced technical report on the analysis of the hospitalization data of all hospitalized pregnancy conclusions of Navy women in Navy military treatment facilities (MTFs) between 1982 and 1992. Results included the determination of pregnancy outcome rates in Navy enlisted women, and the identification of E1s as high-risk group for early fetal death outcomes.

I. (U) ($25K) In response to an inquiry by RADM N.K. Dysart, Director of the Medical Resources, Plans and Policy Division, Officer of the Chief of Naval Operations, a study was undertaken to examine the relationship between back disorders and aircraft type flown by Navy aviators. Physical examination records of 7,675 Navy pilots and aircrew members provided by Naval Aerospace Medical Institute were analyzed. Results found that aircrew members were more likely to have diagnosed back disorders than pilots for both fixed and rotary wing aircraft and that flight was found for a relationship between aircraft type and diagnosed back problems among pilots. This report is under pre-publication review.

3. (U) FY 1997 PLAN:

(U) ($96K) Establish a database from multiple sources and examine the relationships between completed suicides, gestures, and attempts, and organizational and environmental factors in the Navy and Marine Corps to identify risk factors and opportunities for intervention.

4. (U) FY 1998 PLAN:

II. (U) ($103K) Establish a database from multiple sources and examine the relationship between alcohol use/abuse and accidents, emphasizing the cost incurred and man days lost.

5. (U) FY 1999 PLAN:

III. (U) ($119K) Examine the relationships between chemical, radiological and biological occupational exposures such as lead and organic solvent use and reproductive health among Navy and Marine Corps active-duty women.

A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This project provides analytical support to the Chief of Naval Operations and the Secretary of the Navy in evaluation of overall balance within total Navy programs. This includes such tasks as: (a) evaluation of force capabilities and requirements; (b) analysis of effectiveness of systems under development; (c) Secretary of Defense directed independent cost and effectiveness analyses of major Navy programs; and (d) items of Congressional interest as they relate to Navy programs. Deliverables consist of formal, structured documents containing or leading to conclusions and/or recommendations as well as the development and maintenance of databases and models. The use of databases and models is driven by the need to objectively and continually assess the impact of reduced funding and/or force drawdown upon Navy programs. They provide Navy planners and decision makers with objective, empirical data with which to make determinations regarding program planning and evaluation of issues. The models funded by this account are the primary tools used to formulate program balance in the assessment process (particularly the Readiness, Support and Infrastructure Assessment and the Investment Balance Review). The analyses based on these models form the heart of the Investment Balance Review, allowing the Navy to formulate and cost-out alternative force structure, manpower, infrastructure and readiness programs.

(U) PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PLANS:

1. (U) FY 1996 ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

(U) ($200) Maintained the Aviation Readiness model and the Ships Resource-to-Readiness model

I. (U) ($1,400) Provided Navy's share of costs for development of an electronic desk reference set for the exchange of information to support the entire acquisition community. Components included an information reference application, a catalog of software tools, and an acquisition management forum.

2. (U) FY 1997 PLAN:

(U) ($206) Maintain the Aviation Readiness model and the Ships Resource-to-Readiness model

II. (U) ($26) Continue to conduct studies and analyses to support the Navy's Assessment process.

3. (U) FY 1998 PLAN:

III. (U) ($213) Maintain the Aviation Readiness model and the Ships Resource-to-Readiness model.

IV. (U) ($49) Continue to conduct studies and analyses to support the Navy's Assessment process.

4. (U) FY 1999 PLAN:

V. (U) ($218) Maintain the Aviation Readiness model and the Ships Resource-to-Readiness model.

VI. (U) ($90) Continue to conduct studies and analyses to support the Navy's Assessment process.
