FORCE STRUCTURE: Army's Efforts to Improve Efficiency of Institutional Forces Have Produced Few Results.

Abstract

The Fiscal Year 1996 National Defense Authorization Act requires that we annually assess the Army's efforts to streamline infrastructure activities and eliminate the inefficient use of personnel assigned to these activities The Army refers to personnel assigned to infrastructure activities as Tables of Distribution and Allowances (TDA), or institutional personnel. We fulfilled this mandate by assessing the extent to which the Army has (1) taken corrective action to resolve its material weakness in determining institutional personnel requirements and (2) identified opportunities to reduce personnel and realize savings through its Force XXI Institutional Redesign effort. We are also providing our views on whether these initiatives are producing the results necessary for the Army to improve the efficiency of its institutional workforce. Our scope and methodology are discussed in appendix I.
