Force Structure: Assessments of Navy Reserve Manpower Requirements Need to Consider the Most Cost-Effective Mix of Active and Reserve Manpower to Meet Mission Needs

Abstract

In conducting its review of Selected Reserve personnel requirements, the Navy established criteria and followed a structured process, but GAO noted two limitations that could have potentially affected the quality of the results. The Navy did not analyze the most cost-effective mix of active and reserve personnel and in some cases used outdated mission documents as the baseline for analysis. The Department of Defense personnel directive states that missions should be accomplished using the least costly mix of personnel.
