OSA Manpower Survey
Memorandum from DD/S&T to DDCI, dated
21 March 1966
1. The refer* c d memorandum established an ad hoc
committee charged with the responsibility for analyzing the
25X1A *power allocations and utilizations within OSA both at
Neadquarters and In order to carry out this task,
we hope to examine each OSA organizational element to deter-
mine if the staffing within each unit is necessary and
adequate to carry out assigned missions and functions.
2. In outlining our proposed modus operandi for the
conduct of the survey, we have concluded that the various
categories of manpower utilized by OSA precludes effective
use of established military "yardsticks" and direct com-
parisons with normal Air Force or Army staffing guides.
Insofar as practicable where there is similarity between
functions, missions and manpower mixes, consideration will
be given to the use of comparable military staffing guides.
On the other hand inasmuch as the basic purpose of this
survey is to review OSA manpower requirements, particularly
U they relate to established and/or proposed ceiling
allocations, the basic yardsticks if indeed any can be
identified, will be the established (or proposed) OSA staff-
ing complement. We will endeavor, of course, to give due
consideration to other categories of personnel (e.g., contract
services personnel, contract employees, Air Force assignees
and detailees) in attempting to determine the effectiveness
of the current personnel mix in OSA in meeting your overall
mission.

3. The members of the survey team accept the basic
promise that the Director of OSA has the command responsi-
bility to establish the organizational structure of his
component; also that it is his responsibility to ensure
that his manpower is effectively and properly utilized.
In turn however, the survey team would hope that OSA will
be able to demonstrate and prove that they require their
current manpower to perform their assigned missions.
4. In making our survey, we hope to conduct personal
interviews with as many employees as necessary in order for
us to have a complete understanding of your responsibilities
and workloads. Additionally, we hope that you will grant us
access to pertinent data and records which have any bearing
on our assignment. On-site inspections are also contemplated
both at Headquarters and the field. We anticipate that the
survey will take from four to six weeks.
6. Tour cooperation and assistance is, and will be,
greatly appreciated.
