Abstract
Career planning for civilian personnel in the Department of the Navy emphasizes efforts in various intern programs for journeyman level employees. Career planning above those levels is inadequate. Many of the problems that plague the military career system directly affect civilian careers. The Navy's logistics system encompasses a broader range of civilian occupational classifications than do other civilian career programs. The Navy's logistics system is affected by budgetary considerations and decentralized management which adds complexity to the civilian logistics career program. It is concluded after comparing current theory and industrial practices to the Navy's civilian career programs that the Navy's program is encumbered by the organizational structure and technologies used, and that there is a lack of an organizational development and analytical capability to effect needed change. Specific recommendations are made to develop the requisite capabilities. A bibliography is included.
