The Civilianization of Marine Corps Billets: A Methodology

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to develop a methodology for investigating whether it is feasible and cost effective to transition military billets on board a typical Marine Corps Base to civilian personnel. The methodology is broken down into two phases. The first phase--billet identification procedure--establishes a 'Combat Essential' criterion used for determining whether a billet must not contain any of the seven characteristics that are associated with the 'Combat essential' criterion. After all eligible billets are identified, in the second phase the military cost factors along with the appropriate civilian cost factors for each billet are identified. The military and civilian cost factors are then compared and recommendations for or against civilianization are made. Phase One described above was applied to the Fleet Assistance Program (FAP) on board Camp Pendleton, CA and Phase Two was applied specifically to the Base Clubs System within the FAP. Keywords: Civilianization, Marine Corps personnel, Methodology, Civilian employees, Cost factors, Theses, Department of Defense.
