GENERAL NOTES:



1. In some instances, the Military Departments report personnel

by parent installation rather than their operating location. 

Such variations tend to occur in metropolitan areas where military

activities are scattered among many political jurisdictions. 

In addition, personnel on temporary duty (TDY) on September 30,

1995, may be reported at their assigned locations.



2. Military personnel in each department include a number of personnel

in a transient status.  These personnel are in a travel, proceed,

leave en route, or temporary duty status while on permanent change

of station (PCS) orders.  Personnel reported in this category,

entitled "Undistributed," also include personnel for

which an exact location is undetermined or classified.



3. Excluded from the direct hire civilian personnel in this publication

are a small number of Department of Defense civilians formerly

exempt from Office of Management and Budget (OMB) ceiling control,

such as Summer Aids, Stay-in-School Program employees, and participants

in the Cooperative Education Program.  As of September 30, 1995,

the Department of Defense employed 2,697 direct hire civilian

employees in these categories of employment.



4. Department of the Army direct hire civilian personnel include

employees involved in civil functions in the United States.  This

consisted of 28,973 employees of the Army Corps of Engineers

and 106 Army cemeterial employees.  Also included in this

report is one civil function employee of the Air Force.



5. Department of the Navy military personnel include those in

the Military Services of the Navy and Marine Corps.  The Navy

Department military totals consist of shore-based personnel and

exclude those personnel who are afloat (167,415) and temporary

shore-based (39,953).
