Dear Mrs. Mink:                                               LM095712

     On November 27, 1970, you forwarded to us correspondence concerning
allegati    of ross misutilization of civilian personnel   bithe-United
S~ra-es    . Hya  $i . You stated that the Supply and Maintenance Agency
ha   een reorganized four times during the last five years, and the
usual result is that lower grade ositions are abolished and higher
       leveposjn~eman~oureest         determination of how this
situation can be justified.

     In October 1969 Headquarters, United States Army, Pacific, issued
two reorganization orders effective November 1, 1969, pending approval
by the Department of the Army. General Order 761 provided, among other
things, for redesignation of the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff,
G4, as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics. One objective was to'I
combine like functions of that Office with those of the Pacific Materie
Management Agency. General Order 763 redesignated the Pacific Materie2
Management Agency as the Pacific Supply and Maintenance Agency.
Department of the Army approved the reorganization effective June 30,
1970.

     Our staff has inquired into this reorganization to determine its
effect on civilian personnel. We examined documents which showed that
a position management and classification review was made of the 381
civilian positions authorized the Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics
and the Pacific Supply and Maintenance Agency, as provided in Army
Civilian Personnel Regulation 505. Two objectives of such a review
are to assure careful study of the possibilities of improving position
structures and to ensure avoidance of position actions which would
unnecessarily increase payroll costs.

     The position management and classification review included a
study of the need for each position and a determination of whether
the duties performed or to be performed were in accordance with job
descriptions. The grade and pay classification of 275 positions was
not changed, but 106 positions were subjected to further evaluation.
