Since the introduction of the ICBM into the SAC arsenal, numerous researchers have studied the missile operations career field. These studies have been primarily oriented toward the overall attitudes, morale, job satisfaction, and retention rates of Missile Combat Crew Members (MCCMs), both in general and in relation to a specific weapon system (i.e., Titan or Minuteman). The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) if MCCM attitudes differed among the nine missile wings, (2) if the demographic composition of the crew force differed among the nine missile wings, and (3) if demographic differences could be related to attitudinal differences. The authors conclude that there is a significant difference in MCCM attitudes among the wings; however, there is not a significant difference in demographic composition. Thus, the demographic data contained in this study could not be used to explain the differences found in MCCM attitudes. (Author)
