     Colonel T. C. Shaylor
     Director

     Dear Colonel Shaylor:

          Subject:  Opportunity for  Improving Military Courier
                    Operationsi

          We have completed our survey  of Armed Forces Courier
     Service  (ARFCOS) operations in Japan, the Philippines,
     and Hawaii.  We have  identified opportunities for improv-
     ing operations and  reducing costs.  These include:
          --consolidating and/or  eliminating selected ARFCOS
            stations;
          --placing greater  responsibilities upon customers
             for designating couriers and delivering
             material to and collecting material from ARFCOS
             stations;
          --consolidating  ARFCOS courier runs to Australia
             and New Zealand with those made by the Depart-
             ment of State Diplomatic Courier Service; and
           --reducing the staffing level at the Honolulu
             ARFCOS station.

      ARFCOS OPERATIONS IN JAPAN

           ARFCOS operates three courier stations in Japan--
      Yokota Air Base, Atsugi Naval Air Facility, and Misawa
      Air Base.  (See map enclosed.)  The stations are staffed
      as follows:

           Yokota Air Base              13
           Atsugi Naval Air Facility     5
           Misawa Air Base               2
                                        20

           The Yokota ARFCOS station serves as  the activity
      center for courier material entering or exiting  Japan.
      The station is open 24 hours a day,  7 days a week and is
                                              (943467)
