Marsh, Jr.II1111111 The Secretary of the Army 114635 Dear Mr. Secretary: Subject: jjoes t4Army Decisionmaking Process Include Both Active and Reserve Components23 (FPCD-81-37) Total Force management involves decisionmaking that makes use of all available manpower components (Active Forces, Reserve, and National Guard) to fill manpower needs. The importance of Total Force decisionmaking becomes readily apparent in current All-Volunteer Force considerations be- cause of the important contribution required of reserve component personnel. In our January 24, 1979, report entitled DOD Total Force Management--Fact or Rhetoric? (FPCD-78-82), we con- cluded that the Department of Defense, and particularly the Army, was less than serious about Total Force because of the lack of emphasis and the failure of the components to par- ticipate in, or be considered in, management decisions. Al- though the Army has not fully solved the problems, it is making strides in imFroving its Total Force decisionmaking process. Our current study shows that the Army has not only started consulting with all components affected by a partic- ular decision, but does so early in the decisionmaking proc- ess. When coordination did not occur, the Army recognized this and corrected the coordination problem. (961136)
