Preface
is annotated briefing documents research findings from a RAND project titled “Evaluat-
ing the Effectiveness of Military Advertising.” e project was sponsored by the Director for
Accession Policy (Military Personnel Policy).
is briefing examines the Services’ advertising expenditures for the 2002–2004 time
period and quantifies their impact on active-duty enlistments. Consistent with past research,
the study concludes that advertising was very cost-effective at generating enlistments during
the 2002–2004 period. While improvements could have been made (such as increasing the
budget or adjusting the timing or allocation of dollars across programs), advertising compares
favorably with other methods of generating enlistments, such as adding recruiters or increasing
bonuses.
Unfortunately, data deficiencies were a significant obstacle that limited the scope of the
analysis. Most importantly, gaps in the data made it impossible to assess two categories of
marketing efforts that have been increasing in importance: Internet advertising and sponsored
events. Further, although the results indicate that competition between the Services is impor-
tant, it was not possible to evaluate the separate effects for individual programs other than the
Army.
is research was sponsored by the O
ce of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and con-
ducted within the Forces and Resources Policy Center of the RAND National Defense Research
Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the O
ce of the
Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Department of
the Navy, the Marine Corps, the defense agencies, and the defense Intelligence Community.
