Military Personnel: Impact of Joint Duty Tours on Officer Career Paths

Abstract

In April 1987, you requested that we assess the Department of Defenses (DOD) proposals to modify the joint officer personnel policies established by title IV of the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986. We provided our assessment of these proposals in our report, Military Personnel: Proposals to Modify the Management of Officers Assigned to Joint Duty (GAO/NSIAD-88-78, Apr. 19, 1988). However, at that time, our analysis of proposals to modify the tour length requirements set by the Reorganization Act was incomplete. This report completes our analysis of these proposals.
