Marine Corps Manpower: Improvements Needed in Processes for Determining Manpower Requirements

摘要

The report examines the Marine Corps' manpower program. In general, it was found that the procedures the Marine Corps uses to determine manpower requirements lack adequate rigor and that there has been insufficient oversight of the manpower program. It is recommended that the Marine Corps improve its manpower program by (1) issuing additional guidance, (2) using accepted work measurement techniques and implementing additional management controls, (3) ensuring that adequate documentation is maintained, and (4) requiring systematic management oversight.
