Management HQ - Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC)

Abstract

This program element (PE) provides funding for the Management Headquarters (HQ) element of the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), a DoD Field Activity to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (ASD(R&E)/AT&L). The PE supports personnel compensation for HQ-assigned civilians, along with related administrative support costs. This second DTIC PE is established to track activities deemed as headquarters functions, with no operational efficiencies or enhancement to mission. The new PE supports the following HQ functions and mission essential activities critical to the success of DTIC’s business operations, and mandated by law or regulation: - Activity leadership, strategic planning, and Front Office support staff. -- The front office staff (~ 6 authorizations) represents a small component of this PE. Most of the specialized functions and skill-sets described below are centralized activities within the PE, yet support the larger organization and its employees. These activities were consolidated as a means to improve efficiencies throughout DTIC, and are essential to the operation of DTIC’s primary PE 0605801KA. -- Reductions to DTIC’s HQ staffing levels continue, reducing civilian full time equivalents (FTEs) below FY 2016 levels. - Financial Management and Comptroller.
