Individuals Account Review
Abstract
Navy personnel serving on active duty may be broadly grouped as either distributable personnel or non-distributable personnel. Distributable personnel are Navy members available or assignment to an authorized billet and are accounted for in various "for duty" personnel accounts. Personnel who are not available or assignment to an authorized billet (non-distributable) are accounted for through the Individuals Account (IA). The IA account can be viewed as an "overhead" account or as the Navy's cost of doing business. This report was commissioned by Navy Personnel Command (NPC) to: (1) review and analyze the IA to determine if current accounting methods accurately capture the number of personnel included in the IA; (2) determine if other categories of personnel should be included in the IA; (3) review the different methods and systems used to estimate the size and composition of the IA; and (4) make recommendations concerning the accuracy and adequacy of coverage of the IA and whether current automated systems need to be updated. information was gathered by reviewing background materials, including previous reports and materials. In addition, information was obtained through interviews with Nl2, PERS-452, and Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) personnel as well as program managers from the Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps.
