DOD's Management of Civilian Personnel Ceilings.

Abstract

We believe DOD's fiscal year 1980 use of its authority to exceed its civilian personnel ceiling was consistent with the intent of the DOD Authorization Act. The Congress allowed DOD this additional flexibility to handle unforeseen events not covered in the budget process. NAVAIR, hindered by personnel ceilings and other constraints, has attempted to carry out a balanced program of workload with staffing resources. Thus management decisions are made on the relative priority of the activity functions within NAVAIR. Consequently, some activities' end-strengths will be reduced by a greater percentage than others. This has been the case at NAEC which has taken a larger percentage reduction than NAVAIR and some of its other activities over the last 3 fiscal years.
