Replacing Military Personnel in Some Support Positions With Federal Civilians
Presentation
Presentation by Adebayo Adedeji, an analyst in CBO’s National Security Division, at the 91st Annual Conference of the Western Economic Association International.
The Defense Department could cut federal costs by replacing some military personnel in support positions with civilian employees. If DoD replaced 80,000 military personnel, the federal government could eventually save $3.1 billion to $5.7 billion annually.
