Report To-The Secretary Of The Army











Army Needs Better Data To Develop

Policies For Sole And Inservice

Parents


Service members with dependents and no
spouse (sole parents) and those with depend-
ents and married to other service members
(inservice parents) are emerging in the
active Army. Some commanders believe
that, in the event of war, the parental
responsibilities of these service members
will take priority over their call to duty. To
counteract this, the Army has considered
discharging all sole and inservice parents
or assigning them to positions coded as
nondeployable.

GAO surveys of firstline supervisors re-
vealed that, while some problems do exist,
most sole and inservice parents included in
its survey perform satisfactorily and will
meet their wartime responsibilities. The
Army can improve the administration of the
Dependent Care Counseling Program to
insure the availability and performance of
these individuals. GAO recommends sev-
eral actions to improve the Army's manage-
ment of these service members.
