Dear Mr. Chairman:


Subject:


Staffing Data for Department of Defense
Top Management Headquarters Organizations
(GAO/FPCD-83-29)


     On May 4, 1982, you requested that we provide staffing data
from 1950 through 1983 for Department of Defense (DOD) top man-
agement headquarters organizations. You also wanted to know
whether any previous studies had dealt with the issue of exces-
sive staffing at DOD headquarters. We provided you with copies
of reports by GAO and others on the staffing levels of DOD
headquarters organizations. One of the GAO reports, Suggested
Improvements in Staffing and Organization of Top Management
Headquarters in the Department of Defense (FPCD-76-35, Apr. 20,
1976), contained DOD top management headquarters staffing data
from 1950 through 1975.

     During subsequent discussions with your office, we agreed
to provide you with (1) a year-by-year update of the staffing
data for fiscal years 1975 through 1982, (2) our analysis of
staffing trends for DOD top management headquarters organiza-
tions during those fiscal years, and (3) DOD's explanations of
significant staffing changes in its top management headquarters
organizations since 1975.

     For fiscal years 1975 through 1982, enclosure I contains
 (1) military and civilian staffing levels for each of DOD's top
 management headquarters organizations, (2) top management staff
 as a percentage of total staff for DOD management headquarters
 organizations, and (3) changes in staffing levels at management
 headquarters organizations for selected periods. Enclosure II
 summarizes DOD's explanations for significant changes in its top
 management staffing levels during this period. Enclosure III
 contains charts and graphs showing civilian and military
