Department of Defense Civilian Human Resources Strategic Plan

Abstract

There is a civilian human resources dilemma in the Department of Defense (DoD). The Department has weathered significant drawdowns (375,796 since 1989), base closures, as well as shifting challenges from the defense of freedom on foreign soil to homeland defense. The strategic plan takes into account the need to be able to move from a Department structured to support the Cold War to a Department structured to react quickly to evolving missions and to deploy to any location of armed conflict. The strategic plan imparts the Department's direction, with its vision, values, principles, critical success goals and objectives. The 2001 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) Report sets forth the challenges facing DoD. The plan maps out the most comprehensive reform of human resources programs, systems and practices in the Department's history. This transformation is designed to shift the basis of defense planning from a ?threat based? model to a ?capabilities based? model. This shift will change the way the Department does business.
