We visited 17 civilian personnel offices in Texas (see enclosure), and found that although regulations from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and from the military departments recommend use of consolidated personnel offices, the departmentshad not promoted consolidations at the installations we visited. EXISTING POLICIES AND REGULATIONS NOT APPLIED OSD policy recommends that each military department use the services provided by another department's local civilian personnel office where economical and practical. OSD instructions state that commanders who desire support from another department's civilian personnel office will request the support from the command having jurisdiction over that office. The Army, Navy, and Air Force also have guidelines for establishing civilian personnel offices. The guidelines recommend consolidation of these offices when it is economical, practical, and mission effectiveness is not impaired. Under the departments' regulations, activity commanders are responsible for managing and determining the need for consolidated personnel services. Our survey indicated that these policies and regulations, recommend- ing the use of consolidated personnel offices, are not being effectively applied. The Army operated two civilian personnel offices at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas. One office serviced about 3,400 civilian tenants at the installation; the other office serviced about 1,700 civilian employees at the Brooke Army Medical Center, an Army Surgeon General activity at Fort Sam Houston. Air Force civilian personnel offices operated at each of the five Air Force activities in and around San Antonio. Three of these activities--Kelly Air Force Base, Lackland Air Force Base, and the Headquarters, Air Force Security Service--are adjacent. The Army operated a civilian personnel office at the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station to serve about 4,600 civilian employees of the Army 50 TH ANNIVERSARY 1921 -1971 0
