The panel conducted a detailed study of the overall field of personnel management within CAS. They reviewed past developments, considered the implications of the present situation, and then announced their coordinated decisions as to the best courses of action by which CAS might strengthen manpower resources in the future. The report treats the subject under five divisions as follows: I. Requirements Planning II. Recruitment III. Career Development and Training IV. Interface Between Personnel and Activity Managers V. Development of Key Procurement Officers (Military).

This panel was joined to study the varied tools and techniques that have been developed in the field of management science. They reviewed the efforts made by CAS, and other elements of DoD, to apply these techniques, and they evaluated the success of those applications. Their purpose was to consider the potential uses of the more recent and advanced tools and techniques and to set forth, in a general way, new concepts for the development of scientific methods at all levels of CAS management.
