Here are the men and women wenormally mean by the "Departmentof Defense."

About 5 million of the 7 3/4 mil-lion shown are paid directly byDOD agents.

Millions of other people are paidindirectly for defense work. Thoseworking in private plants under de-fense contracts, for example, arenot shown on the right.

CIVILIAN PERSONNEL (TOTAL)

The Department of Defense con-tracts with some foreign govern-ments for the hire of foreignnationals. These work directlywith U. S. troops. Therefore,we count them in the same cate-gory as civilians we pay directly.

The tabulation at the right makesthe addition.

You can see that when you say"strength" you have to be carefulto say what you mean.

There are now about lI millioncivilians counted in the DOD"strength".

MAJOR UNITS

The cutting edge.....

Despite reductions geared to ourlong term economic strength, wehave retained as many combat unitsas possible.

The tabulation at the right showsthe larger combat elements. To beeffective, however, they must be,and are, adequately supported.

OPERATING FORCES

By "Operating Forces" is meantthe combat forces and the closelyallied combat supporting elements.

You can see on the right how theDepartment of Defense has improvedits percentage of operating forces.

Newsmen call this increase, correct-ly, "more bang for the buck".

Of the reduction of 700,000 since30 June 1952, 400,000 has been inthose in trainint and in transientstatus.. This reduction in "pipe-line" is a reflection of increasedefficiency. Men are processed,trained, and moved faster todaythan ever before.

PERCENTAGE OF OFFICERS

No matter how "push button" warsbecome, the need for adequateleadership remains.

The reduction in total militarysize and the demand for more andmore quality has pushed the officerpercentage to new highs. Part ofthis percentage includes extra ROTCofficers.

REGULAR AND RESERVE OFFICERS

You may not have realized the needfor reserve officers on activeduty.

But there are many who are actuallyserving now. The tabulation on theright shows the numbers by rank ofregular and reserve officers nowon active duty.

You can see that many reservistshold important jobs. The Depart-ment of Defense feels that more ofthese officers should be givenregular status. Legislation tocarry out this conversion is now"in the mill".

RESERVES

After World War II and Korea manyexperienced personnel joined bheReserves.

Large percentages of the higherranks and more officers than en-listed volunteered.

Now there are too many (percent-age wise) in the top grades.Officer-enlisted ratios are notin balance.

The building of an effectiveReserve must take account ofthese imbalances.

REENLI STMENT RATES

A reenlistment rate is the per-cent of those who reenlist with-in three months of seoarationover the number separated who areeligible to reenlist.

The rates on the opposite pagereflect the effect of the recentfavorable legislation passed byCongress: better pay, housing,bonuses, etc.

The over-all reenlistment ratefor regulars has moved from the20% level to over 40%. But thiscan not inspire complacency.Westill are not retaining a properblend of skills.

REENLISTMENT RATES

Careful analysis is needed todetect significant trends in re-enlistments.

Here are some of the ones we make.

There have been significant in-creases in re-enlistments, bothat end of first tours and at endof second or later tours. Theseare called "first term" and "career"re-enlistments, respectively.
