Comments:

With regard to NSPS being implemented to assist DoD in doing their mission, the DoD civilian workforce has been instrumental in the success of our military while under the current management system. There have never been any reported cases of where the current management system caused a failure or compromised the mission of our Armed Forces. The only change over time has been the individuals in charge. IF they are unable to effectively manage the resources at hand maybe THEY need to be changed, not the entire management system??? Also, is DoD saying that for over 50 years we have not been mission-driven, performance based and motivated, recognized and rewarded for excellence? Finally, in what respect (specifics please!) will national security be enhanced?
