Defense Transformation: Preliminary Observations on DOD's Proposed Civilian Personnel Reforms

Abstract

DOD is in the midst of a major transformation effort including a number of initiatives to transform its forces and improve its business operations. DODs legislative initiative would provide for major changes in the civilian and military human capital management, make major adjustments in the DOD acquisition process, affect DODs organization structure, and change DODs reporting requirements to Congress, among other things. DODs proposed National Security Personnel System (NSPS) would provide for wide-ranging changes in DODs civilian personnel pay and performance management, collective bargaining, right sizing, and a variety of other human capital areas. The NSPS would enable DOD to develop and implement a consistent DOD-wide civilian personnel system.
