Better Use Of Available Data Would Improve

Mobilization Planning For Inductees

The Department of Defense (DOD) will rely
on the Selective Service System to deliver
inductees after a full mobilization. Since
1974, it has changed its delivery schedules
several times based on such factors as the
System's delivery capability, the capacity of
the services' training bases, or the avail-
ability of trained reservists. However, DOD
has not analyzed systematically the military
services' actual need for inductees.

Even though the data exist, the system that
DOD uses for making wartime manpower
planning decisions collects insufficiently de-
tailed data on each service's wartime needs
and expected manning shortages and sur-
pluses to enable it to validate the accuracy
of the current inductee request schedule.
GAO recommends that the Secretary of
Defense obtain the available information
from the services and use it either to validate
or to change the current inductee schedule,
as appropriate.
