    The Honorable Delbert L. Spurlock
    The Assistant Secretary of the Army
      (Manpower and Reserve Affairs)

         Attention: The Inspector General
                     DAIG-AI

    Dear Mr. Spurlock:

         Subject: Observations on the Army's Manpower Requirements
                   Criteria Program (GAO/NSIAD-84-78).

         The purpose of this letter is to close out our survey (code
    967115) of the Army's Manpower Requirements Criteria (MARC) pro-
    gram. MARC is the process used by the Army to determine the
    number of soldiers needed to perform combat support and combat
    service support functions in deployable units. While it is too
    early in the implementation of MARC to draw a final conclusion,
    we have some observations resulting from our survey work that we
    feel are important to bring to your attention.

          We initiated our survey because this program leads
    directly into the development of Tables of Organization and
    Equipment for combat units which ultimately has a direct effect
    upon the programming and budgetin   of 650,000 positions, about
    57 percent of total Army manpower   requirements. Compensation
    costs alone for personnel who would fill positions determined by





                                                              124183


    11n the context of military personnel management, manpower
    connotes requirements or billets (positions), whereas
    personnel connotes individuals.
