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.
D-2023-4085-D0DIEM-0001-0001.b	Open	No
Rec. 1.b: The DoD OIG recommended the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness develop and implement policy and processes to require coordination across all of the Services for the co-location of inter-Service dual military spouses. The policy and processes should also require additional oversight from higher-level authorities in both Services, should the Services be unable to accommodate inter-Service co-location, similar to the Service-specific processes for intra-Service co-location.
