Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the Department of Defense (DoD) there is increasing interest in identifying ways to save costs while minimizing impact on force effectiveness. Civilianization-the transfer of functions performed by military personnel to civil service personnel-is a frequently discussed way to do this for two main reasons: (1) Military members are being moved in and out of jobs frequently, so there is high turnover as well as high training costs. (2) Military members do not spend 100 percent of their time performing a certain function; they also have training requirements and other duties. Although conventional wisdom suggests that civil service workers are cheaper than their military counterparts, there has been little analysis of this issue.

Download or read book Comparison of Military and Federal Civilian Employee Permanent Change of Station PCS Reimbursements written by Louis R. Gentile and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 1984 survey showed that, excluding home ownership costs, military members absorb approximately 75 percent of out-of-pocket costs involved in a PCS move. Many of the same type costs being absorbed by military members are reimbursable to federal civilian employees. This study examines the historical development of authorized PCS reimbursements for both federal civilian employees and military members, compares currently authorized reimbursements for employees and service personnel, and estimates the incremental cost to DOD to provide the same reimbursements to military members as are currently authorized for federal employees.

Download or read book Incremental Costs of Military and Civilian Manpower in the Military Services written by Adele R. Palmer and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Note updates a series of reports by the Department of Defense (DOD) Comptroller's Office that contained cost estimates for military and civil service personnel, per manyear and by paygrade. The Note presents basic estimates of how the DOD budget would be affected by manning changes, then adjusts the estimates for differences between the DOD's budget effects and effects on the federal government's requirements for financing from the civilian sector. Cost effects associated with the use of individual manyears of military or civilian labor are distinguished from effects associated with changing personnel inventory flow patterns that support the change in use. The Note provides data for fiscal year 1986, and also describes estimation procedures that could be used to update the data on a regular basis. Keywords: Civilian personnel, Military personnel, Military Forces(United States), Military budgets, Department of Defense. (sdw).

Download or read book Military Personnel Military and Civilian Pay Comparisons Present Challenges and Are One of Many Tools in Assessing Compensation written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 required that we conduct a study comparing pay and benefits provided by law to members of the Armed Forces with that of comparably situated private-sector employees to assess how the differences in pay and benefits affect recruiting and retention of members of the Armed Forces. 4 Specifically, our objectives were to (1) assess total military compensation for active duty officers and for enlisted personnel; (2) compare private-sector pay and benefits for civilians of similar age, education, and experience with similar job responsibilities and working conditions of officers and enlisted personnel of the Armed Forces; and (3) assess the 10th QRMC recommendation to include regular military compensation and select benefits when comparing military and civilian compensation to ascertain if it is appropriate. The focus of this review was active duty servicemembers' perspectives on compensation. That is, we focused on cash compensation and the value of benefits to servicemembers versus the cost to the government of providing compensation.
Download or read book Warfighter Support A Cost Comparison of Using State Department Employees Versus Contractors for Security Services in Iraq written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. government?s reliance on contractors, including the State Department's and Department of Defense's (DOD) use of private security contractors in Iraq, has been well documented. We and others have examined many of the challenges the government faces using contractors in Iraq, including issues related to the scope of private security contractors? activities, the challenges in providing sufficient oversight, the appropriate accountability processes, and difficulties in conducting background screenings of foreign national contractor employees. (A list of related GAO products can be found at the end of this report.) What has not been so well examined is the comparative cost of using civilian employees or military members versus the cost of using contractors, particularly private security contractors, during contingency operations such as Operation Iraqi Freedom. Generally, when costs have been discussed, the focus has been on the daily rate paid to contractor employees, rather than on the total costs of using State Department or DOD personnel. However, in October 2005, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issued a study that compared the cost of using military personnel, federal civilians, or contractors to provide logistic support for overseas operations. The study concluded that over a 20-year period, using Army military units would cost roughly 90 percent more than using the contractor. Also, in an August 2008 report on contractor support in Iraq, the Congressional Budget Office conducted a comparison of one contractor's costs to provide private security services in Iraq versus estimated military costs. The report concluded that for the 1-year period beginning June 11, 2004, the costs of the private contractor did not differ greatly from the costs of having a comparable military unit performing similar functions.

Download or read book Costs of Military Pay and Benefits in the Defense Budget written by CBo and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compensation of military personnel takes up asubstantial portion of the nation's defense budget. In its fiscal year 2013 budget request, for example, the Department of Defense (DoD) requested about $150 billion to fund the pay and benefits of current and retired members of the armed services. As in most recent years, thatamount was more than one-quarter of DoD's total base budget request (the request for all funding other than for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and for related activities-often called overseas contingency operations).The compensation request involved four majorareas:- Current cash compensation for service members, consisting of basic pay, food and housing allowances, bonuses, and various types of special pay;- Accrual payments that account for the future cash compensation of current service members in the form of pensions for those who will retire from the military (generally after at least 20 years of service);- Accrual payments that account for the future costs of health care for current service members (under a program called TRICARE for Life) who will retire from the military and also become eligible forMedicare (generally at age 65); and- Funding for current spending under the militaryhealth care program (known as TRICARE), excluding the costs of caring for current military retirees who also are eligible for Medicare (the latter costs are covered by the accrual payments made in earlier years, just described).In all, about 1.4 million active-duty military personnel and about 1.1 million members of the reserves and National Guard receive current cash compensation, the largest part of compensation in DoD's budget. Cash compensation for members of the reserves and National Guard goes mainly to the 840,000 members of the Selected Reserve-service members who are assigned to and train regularly with standing units. Second in totalcost to current cash compensation, military health benefits are available to nearly 10 million people: active-duty military personnel and their eligible family members, retired military personnel and their eligible family members, survivors of service members who died while on active duty, and certain members of the reserves and National Guard.This report does not consider the costs of the benefits provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)- about $130 billion in that department's 2013 budget request. Those benefits include health care for veteranswith service-connected disabilities and for veterans who meet certain other eligibility criteria. Other VA benefits include monthly cash payments that compensate for service-connected disabilities and GI Bill benefits that reimburse some of the costs of higher education.This report also does not consider the costs of pay and benefits for DoD's roughly 790,000 full-time-equivalent civilian employees, other than for the 60,000 who are assigned to the military health care system and whose compensation contributes to the estimate of the total cost of delivering military health care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents a new method of estimating the cost of a military person-year that focuses on the actual cost of the retirement benefits that the federal government must provide to military personal, where previously available measures focused only on annual retirement-fund accrual costs. A major implication of this alternative calculus is that truly effective force management requires an increased focus on the cost of personnel.
