Abstract

In this paper model for managing the Job Rotation of personnel attached to specific military units is proposed. This model aims to maintain the level of the overall preparedness of the units against known risks, by maintaining the presence of skilled personnel present in the unit at any time. The model is used for the development of a software tool that manages the systematic training of army officers in risk prevention and crisis management. The aim of this tool is to globally optimize the movements of army officers between units and training centers so that no units are ever left without skilled staff trained for a particular type of contingency. While officers are in training, they prepare for new hazards and prepare emergency plans for dealing with these particular hazards with the support of more experienced trainers or mentors. When this rotation ends, officers return to their units and assume responsibilities in both implementing the plans they have helped create, as well as in disseminating the knowledge and skills they have acquired and training more of the unit's staff in being able to conduct appropriate parts of the newly introduced emergency procedures.
