WASHINGTON (ANF) The U.S. Army has established special administrative procedures to help the recruitment of servicemen for the District of Columbia Po lice Department. The new rules will supplement, for D.C. police recruiting only, the procedures set up under the Department of Defense Civilian Police Recruiting Program which was announced last fall. The prof run WeM started to. meet the requests of law enforcement agencies for assistance in filling some of the more than 15,000 vacancies on civilian police forces throughout the Nation. It ia aimed at men who have less than 180 days of military service remaining.

The fact is that AMC is basically manned by civilians. IT IS readily apparent that AMC's civilian work force, in being so huge, plays an extraordinarily important role in carrying out the Army's missions. The predominance of civilians at AMC headquarters at Gravelly Point, Virginia, close by the Pentagon, is representative: a total of 3,024 civilians work mere as contrasted to only 341 military. This civilian pattern carries over to the eight subordinate commands. This is shown by a comparison of the civilian and military strength by individual - Military Civilian 1,572 11,720 828 9,961 Missile Command Army ve Command 629 Aviation Material 115 Command 3,901 ' Mobility Equipment 91 Command . . . 4,750 Munitions Command 26,610 1,553 Test and Evaluation Command 12,970 6,188 Weapons 152 Command . . . 1289 Figures are for personnel as of 31 December 1966.

A total of about 60,000 men and women are employed at the depots. Military personnel assigned totals about 700 officers and enlisted men; the ratio works out 87 civilians for every soldier at the depots.

Tooele ilrepresents a good lustration of the four principal functions of a major Army depot: receipt, storage, issuance and maintenance of supplies.
