Urgent Need for a Department of Defense Marginal Performer Discharge Program

Abstract

The House Committee on Appropriations, reporting on the Department of Defense (DOD) appropriation bill for fiscal year 1974, stated that all the services need simplified programs to separate enlisted members considered to be marginal performers. The Committee described criteria for such simplified programs to be used in addition to established administrative discharge procedures. The Committee felt that under such programs, 6,500 marginal performers could be identified and discharged by the 4 services before the end of fiscal year 1974. GAO wanted to examine the programs implemented by the services to accomplish this.
