The Department of Defense plans to cut 50,000 to 60,000 civilian jobs, targeting a 5% to 8% reduction in its 900,000-strong workforce.

Around 6,000 positions per month will be eliminated by not replacing departing workers, raising concerns that service members may fill vacant roles.

The reduction will occur through voluntary resignations, firing probationary workers, and leaving vacated positions unfilled.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth assured that military readiness would not be affected, though some veterans will be impacted.

A federal judge has temporarily halted the termination of 5,400 probationary employees, initially dismissed for poor performance or misconduct.

Officials are reviewing personnel to ensure essential national security roles remain unaffected.
