Army Personnel Management System Study (PMS2). Volume I. Main Report.

Abstract

The study purpose was to develop an Optimal Organization Structure and functional Configuration for the HQDA Level Personnel Management System. Three organizational alternatives were developed reflecting: (a) functional restructuring; (b) organizational restructuring; and (c) formation of an Army Personnel Command (APC). These alternatives were reviewed and evaluated by a Senior Officer Action Planning Conference. The consensus of conferees regarding each alternative follows: (a) functional restructuring - the easiest to implement, a modest change, but organizational problems would remain, and alternative would not be perceived as a meaningful change; (b) organizational restructuring - an appropriate course of action, creation of new ODCSPER Directorate for Plans and System heavily supported, transfer of USAFAC to ODCSPER was not necessary; and (c) formation of APC - feasible but no demonstrated desirability, some functions would be facilitated, costs need further study, and mobilization capabilities should be emphasized. PMS2 is basis for current reorganization planning within ODCSPER.
