Restructuring Army Civilian Manpower to Meet the Challenges of the 21st Century

Abstract

By 1995 the Army will be reduced in size by over 25 percent from the 1990 levels. While a reduction in civilian manpower is imminent, the end-state will be determined not by a ratio of military to civilians, but rather, by how many the Army can afford. Reduced funding levels in the coming years require that we create new and innovative ways to run the Army in a more cost-efficient manner. While significant steps have been taken in order to give managers greater flexibility in civilian manpower management, managers continue to be overburdened with staffing, classification, pay, and professional development obstacles that hinder their ability to effectively and efficiently restructure the civilian workforce that is required to support a smaller but more versatile Army. Now is the time to make evolutionary ventures in the civilian manpower management process to prepare the workforce for the challenges of the 21st century.
