Resources to meet the challengeAcquisition
workforce in hiring mode
Systems Command Example

• Current DoN Acquisition Workforce
• 43,000 MIL/CIV
• AWF reduced 45 since mid-1990s
• 70 of AWF more than 40 years of age
• DoN Acquisition Workforce going forward
• Determining endstrength requirement across DoN
• Grow the workforce 12 over FYDP to address
  gaps
• Rebalance the AWF to eliminate over-reliance on
  outsourcing
• Re-establish Science Technology (ST),
  Engineering foundation at Navy Research Lab and
  Warfare Centers
• Integrate requirements into DoN Planning,
  Programming, Budget, Execution System (PPBES)
  actions for PR-11/POM-12
