GAO: DoD Can Learn From Past Downsizings

With the downsizing of the Department of Defense (DOD) civilian workforce now all but certain, last week the GAO released new congressional testimony to the House Armed Services Committee's Subcommittee on Readiness on previous efforts to reduce the workforce and what they can learn from the experience. In the testimony, the GAO examined DOD civilian workforce reviews between March 1992 and June 2012.
