PENTAGON POPULATION

The number of people vorklng In the Pentagon Building has remained fairly constant over the years, although there has been a slight decrease from the high occu- pancy of the World War II and the Korean War periods.

The utilization of space In the Pentagon compares favorably with that of other large office buildings averaging about 100 square feet per person. Notvith- standing this, not all of the Department of Defense "headquarters" or departmental service personnel can be off Iced In the Pentagon. Over the years It has been necessary to utilize varying amounts of space In other local buildings to house Department of Defense personnel.

DEPLOYMENT OF MILITARY PERSONNEL

Substantial numbers of military personnel are stationed outside the United States.

About 573,000 military personnel have shore-based assignments outside the United States, and an additional 136,000 Naval personnel are assigned to fleet units and other afloat and mobile activities Including nearly 18,000 such personnel temporarily based ashore.

Personnel stationed In Alaska and Hawaii are now In the United States, and are therefore excluded from the numbers mentioned above.

MILITARY PERaONMEL BY PROGRAM CATEGORY

Military forces today are so complex that even rough groupings by functional category are useful. Such a categorization is shown on the right.

By "operating forces" is meant the combat forces and the closely allied combat supporting elements. In recent years the Department of Defense has increased the percentage of personnel assigned to operating forces.

Of considerable Importance also is the reduction in training forces and in transients and patients. This reduction in "pipeline" is. In large measure, the result of reduced personnel turnover and of increased efficiency in personnel processing.

AGES OF MILITARY PERSOMNEL

The essentially youthful nature of our military forces is highlighted by the data on the opposite page.

This feature does not stem wholly from deliberate design. It is a result, in great measure, of the high turnover rate among "first tenners" and inductees. Progress has been made toward increased retention, hovever (see "first termer" reenlistment rates, page 5$) f which has led to a gradual increase in average age since 1933*

WOMEN IN THE ARMED FORCES

The military medical services have enrolled nurses for many years.

Ic is now firmly established that there Is a need and place for other women — WACs, WAVEs, Women Marines and WAFs — as an effective adjunct of the supporting forces.

Their continued employment by the armed forces provides a cadre for mobilization when manpower would be at a premium.

REENLIglMENT RATES (l)

Of enlisted personnel separated from active duty during a given period who are eligible to reenlist, what percentage actually reenlist? The measure which answers this question Is designated the "reenllstment rate." This rate is tabulated on the opposite page for FY 1950 and subsequent years.

Reenllstment rates have improved over the years, but this over-all Improvement conceals the poor retention which continues for certain enlisted categories and skills as Indicated In the two subsequent tables.

REENLISflMENT RATES (2)

This table compares the reenllstaent rates of First Term Regulars and "Career" Regulars.

First Termers are those who have served an Initial active duty tour as a Regular.

"Career" Regulars are those who have served two or more tours of active duty.

The reenlistment rate of "Career" Regulars has run much higher than that of First Termers whose retention in active military service has posed a serious problem.

CIVILIAN PERSÜMNEL - TOTAL

Most of the civilian personnel of the Department of Defense are hired directly by the military departments or the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff Organization as employees of the United States Government, and are designated as direct hire civilians. Some foreign nationals are employed in this manner in overseas areas in addition to U.S. citizens.

In a fev foreign countries, however, substantial numbers of foreign nationals supporting military activities are technically employees of the host government (or an agency of that government) and are assigned to work vlth U.S. Forces under contracts or agreements with that government on a reimbursable cost or other predetermined basis. These foreign nationals are designated as contract hire civilians.

Both categories of civilian personnel must be counted to provide a complete picture of the DOD civilian work force. Figures on the number of contract hire civilians, however, are unavailable prior to 31 January 1953«

Defense civilian employment has been reduced by about one-third since January 1953* Direct hire employment is now at the lowest level in almost nine years.

CIVILIAM PERSONNEL - DIRECT HOT (l)

There have been vide fluctuations In the number of direct hire civilians employed by the Department of Defense In the past 20 years.

Beginning in January 1953, the definition of direct hire civilians was revised to Include approximately 100,000 native Koreans and Ryukyuans vho had not been included before that time. As a result, recent data on direct hire civilians are not strictly comparable with the older data.

These data comprise civilians paid from appropriated funds. They exclude civilian employees of military nonapproprlated fund agencies such as post exchanges and commissaries.

CIVILIAN PERSONNEL - DIRECT HIRE (2)

It Is frequently useful to distinguish between two broad groups of direct hire civilians, namely, salaried personnel and wage board personnel. The dis- tinction is based on method of salary or wage determination.

Salaried personnel consist primarily of employees occupying positions subject to the Classification Act of 19^9 as amended, plus those few employees whose compensation is established by acts other than the Classification Act, by executive order or by administrative determination.

Wage board personnel consist of employees whose compensation is determined by wage boards or similar administrative authority serving the same purpose, and is adjusted periodically in accordance with local prevailing wage rates.

In general, salaried personnel comprise technical, scientific, administrative, supervisory and clerical workers and for this reason are sometimes designated "white collar" employees. Wage board personnel, on the other hand, are usually craftsmen, production or maintenance workers and are therefore designated "blue collar" employees.
