ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303 NOV 6 1 Major General A.M. Burdett, Jr. Commanding General I.J.III lii Ill ifilliI IllIlI Ill! Fort Rucker, Alabama 3636Q LM092B24 Dear General Sitdett: On July 20, 1970, we visited Fort Rucker to follow up on our re- port to the Congress on Opportunity for the Army to Save on the Cost of Temporary Lodging for Student Officers at Fort-Rucker, Alabama, B-146912, dated March 3, 1970. During this visit, we learned that the 120-unit bachelor officer's quarters (BOQ) newly constructed in February 1969 was being used to house officers on temporary duty rather than officers permanently assigned to Fort Racker. As stated in our report, this assignment policy should result in savings to the Government. However, we noted that still greater savings could be achieved if the assignment practice were further modified so that all 120 units in the M0Q would be occu- pied by transient officers or student officers attending transition courses for periods of less than 60 days. The practice in effect at the time of our follow-up visit was to utilize the 120-unit 8OQ approximately as follows: 60 units for student officers attending transition courses 30 units for officers in a transient status 30 units for student officers attending initial entry courses The initial entry students reside in the BOQ for only 2 to 4 weeks at which time they are given certificates of nonavailability of adequate quarters and allowed to move off-base. The BOQ spaces so vacated are filled by other initial entry students beginning new classes. oince the per diem rate for transition students is about $7 a day more than for initial entry students, it would appear to be more economical to assign all 120 units of the BOQ to transition students and allow the initial entry students, who receive the lower per diem rate, to reside off-base. The continuing load of approximately 300 transition students at Fort Rucker should be adequate to utilize all 120 units of the BOQ. We estimate that per diem costs at Fort Rucker W9&;y ovaa9
