Historians: Information on Historian Programs in the Department of Defense

Abstract

On January 22, 1986, the former Chairman requested that we provide information on historian programs in the Department of Defense (DOD). Specifically, he requested information on the employment levels and costs from fiscal years 1983 through 1987 for civilian and military historians and the various ways service components utilize historian products. Our review focused on persons who gather, analyze, and write historical documents. It did not include historical program employees such as museum curators and archivists.
