Wilson Grants

BY JOSEPH YOUNG

Secretary of Defense Wilson

tive designed to give the Defense
Departments ! million civilian

to rise to key executive jobs.
Mr.. wilson's order proposes to
open up better-paying and more
important positions to civilians
in the Pentagon as well as in
military units throughout the
country that are now filed by
military personnel. He said
civilians are needed in great
numbers" in essential defense
executive jobs.
The directive was issued after
months Of study. which showed
that civilian employees in defense
agencies had relatively few on
|portunities for advancement to
responsible positions. mainly be-
cause these jobs are now filled
by the military.
In his directive, Mr.. Wilson
ordered that all positions In the
defense agencies be designated
as either civilian or military
after July !, 1858.

program.
In detailing the criteria to be
used in designating jobs as mill
tary or civilian. Mr.. Wilson
made it plain that liberal
standards should be used to MI
administrative Jobs in support
activities wherever possible with
civilians.
In a radical departure from
past practices, Mr.. Wilson said
that "the line Of authority and
supervision in support Of military
activities need not necessarily be
military"
ANY level Of supervisory au-
thority may be exercised in sup
port activities by either civilian
or military personnel" he added.
This means that civilians can
now be in charge Of support ac-
tivities and In control over MILL
tary personnel. something which
has not occurred In the past.
Mr.. Wilson. IL defining the
criteria to be used In the utiliza-
ton Of civilian employees. de-
clared:
Civilian personnel normally
win be assigned 70 management
positions when the specialist
|skills required are usually found
|in the civilian economy and con-
|tinuity Of MANAGEMENT and ex-
|perienee is essential and can be
better provided by civilians.
Proper civilian career develop
Iment will be essential in these
determinations"
Mr.. Wilson defined use Of
military personnel in these situa-
tons:
Military personnel normally
viii be assigned to management
positions when required by law.
when the position requires skills
and knowledge acquired pri-
marily through military training
and experience, and when ex-
Iperience in the position is essen
tial to enable the ofiicer person.
mel to assume responsibilities
necessary to maintain combat
related support and proper career
development"
To End Dual Staining
