Comments:
“DoD needs a flexible, agile HR system to meet the demands of a dynamic national security mission, while preserving the core, enduring values of the civil service” Over the past twenty years, DoD has decreased the amount of human resources personnel and consolidated their locations. For example, at the Detroit Arsenal our CPOC is located all the way over in Rock Island, Illinois. HR was agile and flexible when it was properly staffed and located twenty years ago, how will NSPS recreate this situation? The core of the civil service is, “to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." And this job can better be accomplished without people dedicating and focusing a good portion of their abilities into pay concerns rather than doing their core jobs.
