Military/Civilian Position Classification in Peacetime
Abstract
The Department of the Army civilianization program is a fact of life today and it appears to have a future. As the budget shrinks and personnel ceilings are reduced the active force will be under increased pressure to reduce the number of personnel in uniform. The present program for determining military identity lacks explicit criteria and standards that can guarantee an appropriate mix of military and civilian positions. A methodology must be developed that will ensure an appropriate military/civilian mix and keep the present level of active uniformed personnel from falling below the level necessary to ensure mission accomplishment. The purpose of this paper is to review the present system to identify inadequacies or shortfalls and, if appropriate, recommend changes that will facilitate development of an improved system.
