Human Capital: Management of Navy Senior Enlisted Personnel Assignments in Support of Operation Iraqi Freedom
Abstract
Our overall audit objective was to evaluate the Services' management of the assignment process for military personnel. Specifically, the audit was to evaluate whether the assignment process for officers and enlisted personnel was managed to minimize the amount of time that essential warfighting positions were vacant, to ensure that qualified personnel were assigned to those positions, and to ensure that training requirements to fully perform the duties of those positions were being met. This report addresses the enlisted personnel management process for Navy units that deployed in support of OIF and how vacant senior enlisted warfighting positions impacted the readiness of deployed forces. We also reviewed the management control program as it related to the objectives. Because enlisted warfighting positions remained vacant during deployment, the audit objectives to determine whether qualified and trained personnel were assigned to those positions became moot. This report does not address officer assignments because our initial review did not identify areas of concern that warranted additional audit work.
