A Functional Analysis of Consolidating the Navy and Marine Corps Recruiting Commands

Abstract

In today's military, characterized by reduced budget authority and increasing worldwide commitments, synergy is required. Secretary of the Navy Danzig's plan for the future is to reduce costs and build a stronger and more effective Navy and Marine Corps team by increasing Navy/Marine Corps integration. The Navy and Marine Corps can no longer afford to maintain their insular and parochial attitudes and "go it alone." The resulting savings from more effectively and efficiently utilizing resources would help fund readiness and modernization objectives. This thesis proposes merging the Navy and Marine Corps recruiting commands to reduce redundancy, increase efficiency, and identify resource savings. As a result of data comparison, redundancies were identified in many of the special assistant and support areas, such as Public Affairs, Legal Affairs, Inspector General, Financial Management, Logistics, Manpower, Advertising/Marketing, and Information Systems. This snapshot" of the structures, functions, and resources associated with the two existing commands can serve as a source of information for future studies.
