From the executive summary: “The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) workforce is made up of approximately 3.7 million people. One-third (1.3 million) are Active Duty, while the remaining two-thirds are divided among the Selected Reserve, DOD civilian employees, and contracted services/support full-time equivalents (FTEs). To shape a “larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force,” the Secretary of Defense requested a comprehensive review of personnel force structure and utilization polices. This includes evaluating the potential for permanently separating non-deployable Service members, assessing the warfighting relevance of professional military education and mandatory training requirements, and examining hiring practices for the civilian workforce.”
