Senate Wants DoD to Cut Senior Executive Positions by 25 Percent | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

One provision in the Senate’s version of the fiscal year 2017 NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) would require the Department of Defense to cut the number of Senior Executives (SES positions) by 25 percent before January 1, 2019. There are currently 1,000 such positions in the Defense Department so the cut would mean 250 positions. The House version of the 2017 contains no such provision and the two bills are now in compromise committee so the fate of this provision is unknown at this time.
