Assessing Costs and Staffing of DOD's DEI Office
This act requires the Secretary of Defense to assess civilian staffing within the Department of Defense's Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). The goal is to validate if positions are necessary and align with the office's core mission. Failure to submit the report on time will prevent the DEI office from establishing new positions or hiring additional staff, potentially impacting its operations.
Key points
The Department of Defense must assess if all civilian positions in the DEI office are justified and necessary.
If the assessment report is not submitted within one year, the DEI office cannot create new positions or hire additional staff.
The Secretary of Defense will need to consider workforce optimization for the DEI office in future budgets.
