Defense Force Management: Expanded Focus in Monitoring Civilian Force Reductions is Needed

Abstract

I am pleased to be here today to provide our views on the Department of Defense's (DOD) management of civilian force reductions. Much of our recent efforts in this area resulted from a May 1991 request from you, Mr. Chairman, and from Congressman Evans, asking us to review DOD's April 1991 5-year civilian employment master plan for reducing the industrial and commercial sectors of its civilian work force. Congressional concern over DOD's management of civilian force reductions led to legislation in fiscal year 1991 requiring DOD to submit the plan for downsizing the industrial and commercial work force. Our report on that issue was submitted to you on February 5, 1992. We recently provided testimony to a Senate subcommittee which basically outlined DOD's differing approaches to military and civilian force reductions, and we have additional work under way examining the management of overall civilian and military force reductions.
