Staffing Data for Department of Defense Top Management Headquarters Organizations (GAO/FPCD 83 29)

Abstract

Our objectives were to (1) update staffing data for DOD top management headquarters and the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that GAO had included in its April 20, 1976, report, (2)analyze staffing trends of DOD top management headquarters organizations for fiscal years 1975-1982, and (3) obtain DOD's explanations of any significant changes in staffing patterns from 1975 through 1982. We discussed the explanations of significant changes with DOD officials and grouped these explanations into nine common categories. Staffing changes were considered significant if they caused a 5 percent or more fluctuation in staffing levels. DOD officials reviewed their records and files to reconstruct the reasons for significant staffing changes between fiscal years 1975 and 1982. In those instances where "documented evidence" was not available or incomplete, DOD consulted knowledgeable officials to obtain their explanations for the changes.
