Department of Defense Pay Practices for German Nationals Should Be Changed

Gao ID: FPCD-77-86 December 2, 1977

The Army and the Air Force employ over 67,000 German nationals at an annual cost of over $670 million. The Department of Defense's (DOD's) employment system in Germany is based on multilateral and bilateral agreements and years of precedent and tradition. Although its personnel policies there generally appear in line with prevailing private practices, some aspects of compensation setting and administration should be changed.
