Right-Sizing the Department of Defense Acquisition Workforce.

Abstract

This report provides the Department of Defense (DoD) response to Section 906 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 1996 (P.L. 104-106). Equally important, it details the outstanding results obtained to restructure - RIGHT SIZE - the Department's Acquisition Workforce. Through the leadership of vigorous acquisition reform, astute management in a highly dynamic environment and great innovation, the acquisition workforce will be significantly smaller at the end of FY 2000 when compared to the base line number of FY 1995. The Department estimates a 25% smaller work force at the end of the five year period. This report specifically addresses the requirements in Sections 906 a., b., & c., and details how the Department will manage a dynamic and highly diverse workforce, resulting in a RIGHT SIZED organizational structure to support both current and future acquisition responsibilities.
