The most significant change scheduled to take effect . I. Caus for the creation of a single morale welfare and recreation fund at army installation worldwide. Army posts now run As Many As 20funds that manage Money earned through such diverse programs As bowl ing and recreation centers gyms child can facilities and officer and enlisted clubs. The single fund will reduce the num Ber of Money managers the army needs meaning the service can offer higher pay and attract belter qualified people said maj. Gen. Robert m. Joyce head of i Hearty s new Community and family support Center at the Pentagon. We Don t have enough Talent throughout the army to really responsibly manage the funds we have Joyce said in an interview tuesday. We had revenues of about is billion last year so you re talking about a Tot of Rooney Chan Ging hands. There s a lot of margin for error. So we replace 20 fund managers i h  the one fund concept also gives installation commanders control of a Pool of the Money earned at Alt mar activities in their communities. Joyce said. Frequently in the past Bowling Man agers or building managers or club Man agers have controlled their own Money to the detriment of the Community As a whole. I be heard from commanders who said they badly needed a youth activities Center or whatever but lacked the re sources to do anything about it. At the same time their Bowling manager might have half a million dollars in the Bank. There was t any organized Way an installation commander could review the resources that were available and then use them to do the things the Community needed to gel done he Sard. In addition to the switch to a single fund the service plans to streamline its mar operations under a program called he Standard installation organization. The reorganization which planners said should be in place by october will ensure that soldiers find the same family support and recreation programs wherever they Are asked to serve. I hink by and Large that although specific condition May change there is a Core of programs you have to have wherever you arc. You be got to have some degree of uniformity so that if you went from fort Hood Texas to  Germany that generally speaking you la find the same Progn i and they la kind of be organized the Safeway and run the same Way he said. I m temperamentally not crazy about standardizing everything but i be got to admit that there s a certain amount More order needed in this thing than we Nehad in the  the change to the one fund concept fit the Community level Means about 40new funds will be created to manage the More than $300 million earned annually by Usa eur morale and welfare pro Grams according to Tom Grant director of the command s Community and family support system.
