    The Honorable Harold Brown
    The Secretary of Defense
                                                            111074
    Dear Mr. Secretary:

         Subject: (Estimates of Available Hours for Military
                   Personnel in Wartime Distort Force Require-
                   ments and Planningj(FPCD-80-6)

         This concerns the policies of the services for estimat-
    ing the availability of wartime military personnel. These
    estimates of available hours and workweeks per month are
    used in calculating personnel needed for future contingen-
    cies. This potential need is then taken into consideration
    for establishing peacetime personnel requirements.

         We evaluated these policies to determine whether each
    of the services has an effective and up-to-date basis for
    planning, allocating, and using its manpower resources and
    whether the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) has the
    tools necessary to effectively monitor and evaluate the serv-
    ice programs.

         Recently we reported on the available hours used for
    civilian employees in civil agencies and the Department of
    Defense and for military personnel in the Army's combat
    units. l_/ In these reports we said

         --availability determinations were not based on common
           criteria;



    1/Estimates of Federal Employees Available Time for Work
      Distort Work Force Requirements (FPCD-78-21, Mar. 5, 1978)
      and Continuous Management Attention Needed for Army to Im-
      prove Combat Unit Personnel Requirements (FPCD-78-61,
      Sept. 5, 1978).
