Book Description
During the 1990s, the State Dept. (SD) lost more people than it hired. The resultant shortfalls in the number and skills of Foreign Serv. (FS) officers have endangered U.S. diplomatic readiness. Furthermore, recent studies have questioned whether SD's recruitment system identifies people with the appropriate skills and whether SD is assigning officers with specialized skills, such as the ability to speak a difficult language. This report reviews the SD's processes for determining the number and skills of junior officers the dep't. needs and to determine whether it is hiring and assigning officers with the general skills to carry out foreign policy overseas. Also examines the challenges the SD still needs to address, especially regarding officers' foreign language skills.
