Rec. 1.a: The DoD OIG recommended the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness develop and implement policy and processes to define how the Services should measure the effectiveness of their assignment policies. At a minimum, the policy and processes should require the Services to review and analyze the results of their exit and retention surveys and re-examine their co-location policies, on a specified recurring basis, to determine whether their assignment policies are balancing their respective missions with the needs of the Service members and their families.
