The Defense Manpower Commission study of DOD manpower
resulted in about 30C recomendaticvs, conclusions, and
observations on a variety of issues, including requirements,
recruitment, training, utilization, conpensaticn, retirement,
the future of the A11 Volunteer Force, and management -.f defense
manpower. Findings/Conclusions: The tentative responses of DOD
lacked Eiecific details showing the degree of consideration
given the Commission's report. When rOD agreed on a particular
isste, it did not indicate the organization with the specific
responsibility for taking action or a time frame for completing
any action. In most of the cases, DOD stated that no further
action was necessary. In some instances, DOD disagreed with t'e
Commission because prior or on-going studies led to different
nositions. Recommendations: The Secretary of refense should
decide, as soon as possible, DOD's positions or the Commission's
recomnendat.ons, ccnclusions, and cbservations; designate
organizations to be responsible for correcting problems or
making improvements in those areas where DOD ccncurs with the
Commission; assign target dates to complete these actions; and
provide more explicit details to support DOD's position when it
differs from the Ccnission's viewpoint. (SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaceb0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
