Defense Acquisition Organizations: Status of Workforce Reductions

Abstract

You asked us to (1) review the Department of Defense's (DOD) progress in reducing its workforce in acquisition organizations by 25 percent, (2) examine the potential savings associated with these personnel reductions, (3) determine the status of DOD efforts to redefine its acquisition workforce, and (4) examine DOD's efforts to consolidate and restructure acquisition organizations. In an interim product, we reported that DOD will likely meet its acquisition workforce reductions target. We also reported on DOD's initial efforts to redefine its acquisition workforce. This report updates information on acquisition workforce reductions. As discussed with your office, we have included a study of one Air Force restructuring initiative to illustrate some of the issues surrounding DOD efforts to consolidate and restructure acquisition organizations.
