Defense Aquisition Organizations Status of Workforce Reductions.

Abstract

DOD has some 20 acquisition organizations as well as a diverse, multilayered workforce. In recent years, Congress has enacted legislation that requires DOD to reduce its acquisition workforce significantly and to identify opportunities to streamline and consolidate acquisition organizations and functions. These legislative efforts, aimed primarily at reducing the acquisition workforce consistent with decreasing budgets and acquisition reform Initiatives, allow the Secretary of Defense wide latitude in Implementing the reductions. DOD has long sought to focus on infrastructure reductions in an effort to fund weapons modernization.
