D.C. 20548 - - LM095592 Dear Mr. Chairman: On August 19, 1970, we reported to the Secretary of De- fense the results of our review of the manpower procedures and practices concerning support forces of the 8th U.S. Army in Korea. We raised questions regarding the readiness of units to perform their mission and the adequacy of the manage- ment of manpower needs. We felt that decisions which resulted in changed manpower needs of individual units were controlled by a ceiling for military personnel rather than justification of the need for specific positions. Also we reported a need for Army headquarters and the 8th Army to improve their prac- tices for requesting and assigning additional personnel. We concluded that, with better management, there could be a reduction in the number of military personnel assigned to the 8thArmy apd an increase in the readiness of individ- ualf ts. Many of the maters discussed in the report to the Secretary of Defense related to Army-wide problems that we included in earlier reports. In a letter dated October 21, 1970, the Assistant Secre- tary of the Army commented on our findings and told us of ac- tions being taken to strengthen manpower management. A summary of the more important matters on which we believe further action is necessary is enclosed. This summary is also being sent today to the Senate Committee on Armed Services, the Senate Committee on Govern- ment Operations, the Senate Committee on Appropriations, the 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921-1971-ILL2!
