Military And Civilian Managers Of Defense
Manpower: Improvements Possible In
Their Experience, Training, And Rewards
Volume I
Many dedicated, hard-working individuals,
military and civilian, perform DOD man-
power and personnel management functions
without the expertise and effectiveness
desired. Issues arising from use of defense
manpower have increased in importance.
GAO has repeatedly pointed out persistent
problems in past reports.
Traditional officer assignment practices and
existing civilian career programs hinder the
development of manpower and personnel
management expertise. Managers having the
expertise are not adequately rewarded.
The Secretary of Defense should make sure
that the services establish viable career fields
and programs for officers and civilians work-
ing in manpower and in personnel manage-
ment. In addition, the services should
specify certain officer manpower and per-
sonnel positions as the equivalent of com-
mand and operational experience for mili-
tary promotion board consideration.
