Statement by Chief Pentagon Spokesman and Senior Advisor, Sean Parnell, on a Reduction in Force at the Defense Technical Information Center

The Under Secretary for Research and Engineering, has directed a personnel reduction within the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC). This decision eliminates duplicative functions and will refocus DTIC to its core statutory mission of administering a library of technical information and improving the user experience. This effort will save taxpayers over $25 million as part of the Department's commitment to broader efficiency initiatives and to streamline operations.

Forty (40) mission-essential personnel will be retained in order to fulfill DTIC's statutory mission, all other civilians will receive a Specific Notice of reduction-in-force. The Department remains committed to continued reform and reducing bureaucracy.
