Military Personnel Issues: Managing and Compensating the Armed Forces

Abstract

Military personnel issues will continue to receive considerable interest in the 1980s as a consequence of the Administration's effort to expand and modernize the Armed Forces. Budget outlays for military pay and benefits in fiscal year 1982 are expected to approach $59 billion or over 31 percent of the total national defense budget. Related costs will increase these expenditures significantly. This study covers the issues and problems relating to the management and compensation of the U.S. Armed Forces and the views of GAO in organizing its audit efforts in this area.
