EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT VARIATIONS The civilian end strength for fiscal year 1962 is unchanged from fiscal year 1961. The 6,467 employees budgeted for year end includes 2,311 at corps head- quarters where the Army Reserve program is administered and operated; 3,216 unit technicians in direct support of troop program units; and 940 for adminis- trative, training, and logistical support of the Army Reserve and ROTC. Section 1 above excludes personnel paid from or assigned to activities included under "Operation and maintenance of facilities." SUMMARY-PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS (DIRECT AND REIMBURSABLE Operation and maintenance, Army—Program 2700 Joint projects 1. Excludes operation and maintenance of facilities personnel. 2. The fiscal year 1962 estimate is projected slightly below the fiscal year 1961 estimate. SUMMARY-PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS (DIRECT AND REIMBURSABLE 9000 Operation and maintenance of facilities SECTION 2. EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT VARIATIONS (a) The personnel reflected in this activity provide the personnel for the operation and maintenance of facilities support to the mission programs of the Army. (b) The increase in personal service obligations for fiscal year 1961 over fiscal year 1960 is due primarily to the civilian pay raise and the addition of Fort Jonathan M. Wainwright transferred from the Department of the Air Force (formerly Ladd Air Force Base). (c) The net increase in personnel end strength in fiscal year 1962 over fiscal year 1961 is due primarily to a higher level of facilities maintenance, additional missile units, additional fire control systems, and an increase in support for active Army trainees. Offsetting these increases are reductions in air defense units and training load resulting from decrease in Reserve Forces Act trainees. Mr. ANDREWS. Now we shall hear General Duff's statement. GENERAL STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR OF ARMY BUDGET, COMPTROLLER OF THE ARMY General DUFF. Thank you. Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, my discussion of the fiscal year 1962 "Operation and maintenance, Army" (O. & M., Army) appropriation will be in three general parts. First, I shall present a general introduction to the appropriation, then I shall discuss each budget program and the operation and maintenance of facilities support for these programs and finally I shall refer to the fiscal limitations which were prescribed for this appropriation for fiscal year 1961. APPROPRIATION INTRODUCTION The "Operation and maintenance, Army" appropriation is the financial energizer of the Army's budget. Basically, the other appropriations provide combat potential. For example, the "Military construction" appropriation provides housing and facilities, the "Military personnel" appropriation provides the pay, food, and personal clothing for Army personnel, and the "Research, development, test, and evaluation" and "Procurement of equipment and missiles, Army" appropriations provide means to modernize and equip the Army. The "O. & M., Army" appropriation provides the means, through individual and unit training, supply and transportation, medical care, maintenance, and communications to transform the potential of men, equipment, and facilities into a functional combat capability. This transformation is accomplished by providing funds, through the eight budget programs of this appropriation as shown on this table, to the organizations and activities responsible for execution of the interrelated segments of the appropriation. (The table referred to follows:) There is no separate budget program for operation and maintenance of facilities, since the O. & M. costs appropriate for each one of these budget programs have been included in that budget program. It would be possible to have an adequate, well-equipped force and yet be ineffective because of inadequate operating funds provided by the "Operation and maintenance" appropriation for support of the individual soldier and his unit. |
