REENLISTMENT RATES-DEFINITIONS The following definitions established under Department of Defense Instruction No. 1304.3 dated September 20, 1954, and revised July 13, 1956, apply to reenlistment rates listed in this section.

Separatees eligible to reenlist.—Consists of enlisted personnel who, under current policy in each service, are acceptable for reenlistment in the Regular components, either at expiration of term of service or who receive a separation action, prior to expiration of normal tour of service for the purpose of reenlistment. Excluded from eligibles are enlisted persons given medical, disciplinary, inaptitude and unsuitability discharges, persons separated for retirement and dropped from rolls, persons separated for transfer out of enlisted status, transfer between components of the same service or to another service, and other separatees who, under service policies are not eligible to reenlist.

Reenlistments.-Entry into active duty in the Regular component of individuals with prior military service, either as regulars or as inductees of the same service, within 90 days after separation from a prior tour of active duty. Excluded from reenlistments (for rate computations) are reenlistments in or from the Reserves or National Guard, extensions of tours of duty for less than a normal term of service, enlistments in a service of individuals with prior service only in another service, and reenlistments of those individuals who reenlist after 30 days from the date of their separations.

Reenlistments listed in the following tables represent reenlistments used in computation of rates given in the adjacent columns. Prior to July 1, 1956, reenlistments of "persons separated" during the specified period are shown. For July 1956 and subsequent periods reenlistments "occurring” during the specified period are shown.

Reenlistment rate: Fiscal year 1950 through fiscal year 1956.-Reenlistments of enlisted personnel separated in a given period as a percentage of the total separated in that period who were eligible to reenlist. This is the official reenlistment rate for release outside DOD.

Reenlistment rate: Fiscal year 1957 to date.-Ratio of total reenlistments occurring in a given period to total separations, eligible to reenlist, occurring in the same period, expressed as a percentage. This is the official reenlistment rate for release outside DOD.

Adjusted reenlistment rate.-A modified reenlistment rate designed to measure the net reenlistment yield from a group of separatees who would normally complete a term of service in a given period, excluding the effect of early separation for reenlistment. (The adjusted rate is designed for use in analysis of trends in the career attractiveness of military service and for longer range personnel planning, rather than for current administrative or operating purposes.)

Types of separatees.—DOD instruction 1304.3 provides for reporting reenlistment rates for three major groups of separatees. First term regulars consists of individuals serving on an initial term of service in the Regular component of a service. Career regulars consists of individuals serving on active duty for a second or subsequent term of service in the Regular component of a Service. Inductees represent persons inducted under the UMTS Act of 1951.
