Implementation of Executive Order 14222 - Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative, Memorandum : Department of Defense , May 27 , 2025
From the document: "The Department of Defense (DoD) is shifting its culture to a wartime footing, demanding unmatched efficiency, agility, and a laser focus on mission-priority warfighting capability and deterrence. While we rely on our vital industrial base to deliver cutting-edge technology and support, we must in-source more expertise and harness the unparalleled talent of our existing experts to drive financial efficiency and operational strength. We will become lean and mean, eliminating wasteful practices and reallocating resources to fortify our strategic edge. In accordance with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Cost Efficiency Initiative," this memorandum sets forth contract guidance to promote fiscal responsibility, streamline operations, and maximize our readiness and lethality. To achieve these objectives, I am introducing policies that leverage in-house capabilities and focus on mission-critical priorities."
