Abstract
The current enlisted detailing process is completely centralized, requiring a time-intensive system to negotiate and match Sailor preferences to job gaps. The process is managed by Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) detailers through coordination with placement officers, command representatives, and the individual Sailors seeking available billets. Individual Sailor records are also maintained at BUPERS, using multiple databases. This report researches the use of blockchain technology to provide a decentralized marketplace to streamline the process while still protecting sensitive data. While this report concludes that it is entirely feasible to encode Sailor records on a blockchain ledger, further research is recommended in the form of a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to determine whether this solution is right for BUPERS.
