Dear Sir:

     We visited U.S. Marine  Corps installations on Okinawa as part
of our survey and  followup of military support function consolidations.
Two functional areas--disbursing  and supply--included matters of
a local nature which we want  to bring to your attention.  In both
of these areas,  the Marine Corps can save military personnel costs
through consolidations of Marine  support organizations.

Consolidating Marine disbursing on Okinawa

     Three separate organizations provide  disbursing and related
accounting support  to Marines on Okinawa.

     --Marine Corps Base, Camp Butler,  pays public and travel
       vouchers, military pay, and  civilian pay.

     --The 3rd Force Service Support Group  (FSSG) processes
       a military payroll and manually  pays travel vouchers.

     --Marine Corps Air Station  (MCAS) Futenma processes a
       military payroll and manually pays  travel vouchers.

     Marine disbursing officials on Okinawa  told us that consolida-
tion is feasible and could result in reduced  personnel costs.
Consolidating MCAS Futenma disbursing with  3rd FSSG could save two
positions, and consolidating 3rd FSSG with  Camp Butler could save
an estimated five to six positions.  Total  potential savings from
these consolidations could be over $130,000  annually, including
pay and benefits.  Added advantages of  consolidating would include
reduced numbers of reports such as the presently  separate computer
printouts which could be merged into a single  computer run.

     Deployable disbursing organizations have been  successfully
consolidated in other areas, including Army  organizations in the
continental United States and the Marines  in Hawaii.  At Kaneohe
