The purpose of the research was to determine if the present Advanced Academic Degree Management System provides an adequate method of identifying and establishing advanced academic degree requirements needed to accomplish the Air Force mission. Two specific objectives were identified: determine if the current AADMS provides only valid AAD requirements; and provide the AADMS with an objective test to establish valid AAD requirements, thereby improving justification of Air Force requirements for outside interests such as the Congress. A survey was developed using questions drawn both directly from accepted Air Force criteria and indirectly using the results of previous research. This survey was administered to a sample of 160 officers from within Air Force Logistics Command.

The Air Force's Advanced Academic Degree Management System (AADMS) consists of a number of unrelated and dynamically changing parts which provide a challenge to AADMS managers' ability to create and operate an effective decision structure. A computerized model which caters for features both internal to, and external to, but impacting upon the system, has been designed to allow managerial experimentation with policy decisions. As well as potential policy decision implications, the model enables an analysis of system response to factors not directly under the control of the Air Force. (Author).

Reduced funding for educational programs indicated that a thorough review should be made of the Advanced Academic Degree (AAD) validation process. This reduction in funding necessitates more effective management of the AAD program in the logistics career areas to insure that officers in these career areas require those skills learned through these education programs to effectively accomplish the logistics mission. This study addresses this problem by conducting an analysis of the logistics AAD program, The researchers evaluated 845 requests for AAD positions based on criteria such as: duties and responsibilities of the position, organizational level of the position, proper alignment between Air Force Speciality Code (AFSC) and the AAD code requested and finally, the written justification of the request.
