Department of Defense. National Defense Authorization Act for FY 1996, Section554; Review of System for Correction of Military Records

摘要

On March 20, 1996, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Management Policyasked the Military Departments to provide comments on the seven issues identified in section 554. The Army contracted with a consulting firm, Booz-Allen and Hamilton, Inc. (Booz-Allen), to conduct an independent study of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) and the Army Discharge Review Board. This study included a comparison of the ABCMR with the other Service correction boards. The Navy created a management efficiency team to prepare a report. The Navy provided responses to the seven issues and submitted a copy of an Efficiency Review of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) conducted by a Manpower Analysis Team. The Efficiency Review focused on determining minimum manpower requirements for the BCNR. The Air Force tasked the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) Director and an AFBCMR Chief examiner to conduct a study of the AFBCMR. The reports submitted by each Department were valuable sources of information in preparing this report.
