- Summary:
- DOD has sought to reduce costs by assessing headquarters and overhead functions. Both the Army and Air Force have two reserve components -- a National Guard and Reserve -- that have at least 75 headquarters located throughout the United States, its territories, and overseas that manage subordinate units or perform overhead functions. These headquarters have a mix of full-time and part-time personnel. GAO was asked to review issues related to reserve-component headquarters. This report (1) discusses trends in funded positions at reserve component headquarters and (2) evaluates the extent to which DOD has established and implemented processes to efficiently size its reserve component headquarters. To do so, GAO reviewed statutes and DOD guidance, analyzed personnel data and headquarters assessments, and interviewed DOD and state officials.
