Abstract
This paper examines the attainable and maintainable states of a graded manpower system, where control is imposed through recruitment. Whilst certain constraints are imposed on the recruitment vector it is not assumed that the total size of the system is fixed nor that it grows at a fixed rate.

Während dem Einstellungssteuerungsvektor gewisse Bedingungen auferlegt werden, werden weder ein fixierter Gesamtumfang noch ein Anwachsen des Systems in festen Raten angenommen.
