Summary

When the Department of Defense decides to combine, reorganize, or remake an organization, function, or activity under a Strategic Sourcing Plan and that change will cut 50 or more jobs (military or civilian), the Secretary of Defense must send a report to the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and the House. The report must show projected savings compared to prior costs, list the missions or duties that will be affected, state that military readiness will not be reduced, give a schedule for the change, and say that the full analysis is available for review. The head of the Defense Agency or the Secretary of the military department cannot start the plan until 30 days after they notify those congressional committees. Strategic Sourcing Plan of Action means the DoD plan named in the February 29, 2000 interim guidance or any later DoD guidance used that fiscal year.
