PERSONNEI AND COMPENSATION OIVISION B-183124 SEPTEMBER 17, 1979 The Secretary of the Navy Attention: MCB4 110381 Dear Mr. Secretary: We have completed a study of the Marine Corps manpower 4/ requirement procedures for base support activities.-e are concerned because the Marine Corps did not quantify its sup- port manpower needs in relation to its workload. This quan- tification is critical for validating the current budget, providing meaningful manpower management and assessing its effectiven,ess, and determining mobilization needs in an emergency. The capability to conduct full mobilization is dependent on prompt expansion of base training and support \to meet increased requirements. We directed our attention to the development and use of staffing standards for the Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany, Georgia, and the Marine Corps Base at Camp Le3eune, North Carolina. The Department of Defense has agreed to support and implement the basic thrust of our recommendations in a recent similar study of the Army. (See the enclosure.) We trust that, with our identification of this issue and with the Department of Defense's recognition of the need for en ower management process, you will further consider our recommendations letter e report. We are recommending that the Marine Corps establish certain manpower management tools which should be of help throughout the cycle of budgeting and using manpower. We noted that Lieutenant General Edward J. Bronars, Marine manpower chief, recently announced a 10,000-person reduc- tion in the Corps. Allocation of this reduction would be a typical applicat~on of the recommended tools. FPCD-79-75 (961086)
