The consolidation of Military Pay and Personnel Functions is a Department of the Army-sponsored project. This document is the final report of the project which began in September 1974 and ended in February 1978. The project was initiated to expedite the automated interface between the Joint Uniform Military Pay System-Army, and the Standard Installation/Division Personnel System and begin planning for the ultimate merger of military pay and personnel functions. Organizations and procedures for a consolidated personnel and finance office at installation, corps, and division levels were developed and tested. Findings are based upon two thirty-day evaluations of three consolidated offices in a live environment at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Conclusions and recommendations focus on the need for an Army common data base with single source input at each echelon of the personnel and finance organizations. (Author).
