DOD's Automated Telecommunications Centers Reduce the Impact of Message Volume on Staffing (GAO/IMTEC-83-2)

Abstract

As requested in your letter of July 20, 1982 (enc. I), we have followed up on our December 4, 1975, report (LCD-76-107) regarding the need for electronically transmitting narrative messages at military telecommunications centers. In that report we estimated that the number of narrative messages sent from the six California military installations we visited could have been reduced by almost 19 percent and that a savings of almost $150,000 annually could be realized by decreasing staff who operated the telecommunications equipment. Also, we projected that the Department of Defense (DOD) could save over $1.8 million to about $15.7 million annually if from 5 to 40 percent of the messages sent electronically from all military telecommunications centers were mailed.
