What this amendment would do

SA 6360, submitted by Mr. Booker, aims to add a section to title XI of bill S. 4784. This addition requires the Secretary of Defense to conduct and submit a comprehensive assessment regarding reductions in the Department of Defense civilian workforce that have occurred since January 1, 2025.

The purpose of this amendment is to identify:

  • Experience and skills gaps that happened when losses were not offset by mid-level or entry-level hiring.
  • The effects of these reductions on institutional knowledge, technical expertise, and mission execution across critical functional areas.
  • Risks related to sustainment, acquisition, and readiness.
  • Mitigation strategies to fix these gaps, such as retention efforts, training, targeted hiring, and workforce planning.
