1stSgt (Join to see) Was thinking the same thing myself. I scanned through as much of it as I could even spotting the 62% referred to, but completely missed the 209% fact noted by Sgt (Join to see) . Someone went to a lot of detailed work to prepare a report and hope someone else got something out of it. I did not note any recommendations or information why or for who the report was prepared. 1000 RPoints to 1stLt (Join to see) tho.

1stLt (Join to see) Sir, I found the 62% that you mention on page 13. The spreadsheet lists the share of personnel that DoD listed as commercial. Adding up the Marine Corps column, the total comes up to 209 percent. I believe that the 62% is a subset, and does not represent the entire Marine Corps workforce.

It's a cultural thing. Back in the day MC AD types were in all sorts of roles, preferring to take care of their own. Small in comparison to the other forces, it worked. As time went on, force caps meant work had to shift and Civil Servants were brought in. The Civil Servants were subjected to the A-76 process where the commercial sector bought out the politicians to push them out. Finance is likely one of the few remaining bastions of MIL taking care of MIL directly. So what's left is who does the "inherently governmental" work? One thing I do wonder is if certain pockets are kept open to MIL types for duty cycling purposes. My MC buddies would probably have a better take.
