The Department of Defense (DOD) has, in the past, lacked a strategic approach to human capital management. In April 2002, DOD issued two human capital strategic plans for military personnel. One plan addresses military personnel management and policies; the second addresses quality of life issues affecting service members and their families. As a follow-on to its recent work on benefits for military personnel, GAO reviewed the extent that these two plans, in addressing military benefits, promote (1) the integration and alignment of human capital approaches to meet organizational goals and (2) the use of reliable data to make human capital decisions--two critical success factors for human capital planning. GAO also reviewed DOD's plans for overseeing the progress and implementation of its human capital plans. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-237/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-237.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-237/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-237.pdf GAO-03-237 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-237 Other Written Product GAO-03-237; Military Personnel: Oversight Process Needed to Help Maintain Momentum of DOD's Strategic Human Capital Planning; Human resources utilization Personnel management Military personnel Quality of life Title 31 Section 720 31 U.S.C. 720
