Military Officers: DOD's Implementation of Congressionally Mandated Reductions

Abstract

In February 1987, your office requested that we examine the implementation of the congressionally mandated 6-percent reduction implementation of Defense (DoD) officer strength for fiscal years 1987 through 1989, along with the officer requirements study that the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) prepared to justify officer growth. This report addresses your request. A companion report, entitled Military Personnel: Options to Implement Officer Reductions (GAO/NSIAD-87-162, Aug. 5, 1987), discusses policy alternatives that DOD should consider in reducing the number of officers.
