DOD Management of Civilian Force Reductions Gao ID: T-NSIAD-92-10 February 20, 1992

This testimony focuses on the Defense Department's (DOD) plans for civilian force downsizing and efforts to minimize adverse impacts on civilian employees. GAO discusses special separation incentives and other programs to facilitate the downsizing of the uniformed military. In particular, GAO focuses on civilian force reductions within DOD, some of which result from base closures. GAO examines the magnitude of the downsizing taking place, management and drawdown of military compared with civilian personnel, and efforts to minimize the impact of separations on individuals affected as well as to preserve a quality work force for the future.
