With more than 50% of its civilian workforce (about 700,000 civilians) eligible to retire in the next few years, DoD may be faced with deciding how to fill numerous mission-critical positions -- some involving senior leadership. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2006 requires DoD to develop a strategic human capital plan, update it annually through 2010, and address 8 requirements.
