Who is responsible for conducting monthly DEP and RTC attrition analysis?

The responsibility for conducting monthly DEP (Delayed Entry Program) and RTC (Recruit Training Command) attrition analysis falls to R-OPS. This position focuses on operational planning and the management of recruitment and retention within the Navy. R-OPS has the analytical capabilities and data management resources necessary to effectively track and assess attrition rates. The analysis conducted by this role is crucial for understanding factors that contribute to enlistment and retention challenges, allowing for informed decisions and strategies to improve performance in these areas.

In contrast, while the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer are key figures within the command structure, their focus tends to be on broader leadership responsibilities and overall mission execution rather than specific data analysis tasks. The Department Head typically manages specific departments and areas of operations, but does not specifically hold the responsibility for attrition analysis within the context of recruiting operations. R-OPS is uniquely positioned to fulfill this analytical role through dedicated resources and expertise.
