6 Where Are We Now: Extended 31 October deadline for assimilation Working with new Civilian Community Management Office (N-11), Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Manpower and Personnel) –Established as a result of VCNO’s 2001 Task Force –How do we ensure that the civilian component of the Navy team meets our evolving needs? –Goal: “…the right civilian with the right skills in the right job at the right time” –“Logistics” one of 21 civilian communities –Includes 346s and 12 other series in the 21XX family, e.g., 2101,2102, 2130, etc. –Approximately 5,500 total in DON

7 Discussion Items Sustainment – Should there be consistency among the DAWIA career fields? GS-346s: Should all be included if in a Major Acquisition Organization? DAWIA Size: How big should it be? Do we need to control the numbers assimilated?

8 Sustainment Should there be consistency among the DAWIA career fields? Updated Packard Commission Methodology (aka Jefferson Solutions Methodology) excludes sustainment Except on a case-by-case basis, we don’t include positions in organizations that primarily perform sustainment functions (e.g., maintenance depots)

9 GS-346s: Should all be included if in a Major Acquisition Organization? GS-346 Distribution Examples

10 DON Major Acquisition Organizations GS-346s Total 346s: 2,977 All DAWIA: 2,817 DAWIA Life Cycle Logistics: 2,766  Only 160 of 2,977 are not in the DAWIA Program  Only 211 of all 2, s are not in LCL  Of the 2,817 in DAWIA, only 51 are in career fields other than LCL

11 DON Maintenance Depots White Collar Civilians: 12,920 DAWIA: 1,356 DAWIA Life Cycle Logistics: GS-346s in LCL (out of 454 in the depots)  Most civilian white collar positions in the depots are not in DAWIA (sustainment issue)  34% of DAWIA is LCL  86% of GS-346s are LCL

12 DAWIA Size— How Big Should It Be? House reductions of the Acquisition Workforce are proposed every year… –Perception still exists that the acquisition workforce is too big Need to be mindful of overall numbers as we broaden definitions and assimilate new positions and people into the DAWIA workforce
