Noninstructural Military Positions at the United States Military Academy

Abstract

Fiscal restraints caused by a declining Defense budget and the overall downsizing of the U.S. military force structure has prompted Congress to mandate that the Military Academy reduce the Corps of Cadets from 4,400 to 4,000 by 1995. Reducing and reorganizing the Military Academy support staff commensurate with a smaller Corps of Cadets is also necessary. The Senate Committee on Armed Services directed that the Inspector General, DoD, conduct an audit of the noninstructional military positions at the United States Military Academy (Academy) to determine which positions are directly involved either in the administration of students and faculty or in the maintenance of facilities. The number of authorized military billets at the Academy was overstated by 99 billets. Forty-three noninstructional billets at the Academy were not essential either for the accomplishment of the Academy's mission or for the maintenance of the quality of life of the Corps of Cadets. Additionally, another 56 billets were unnecessarily classified as military positions.
