Civilian DOD personnel should comply with a request from the Office of Personnel Management that they provide five bullet items about what they accomplished over the past week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth now says.
Hegseth had initially told DOD employees not to participate.
“We recognize that we cannot accomplish that [warfighting] mission without the strong important contributions of our civilian workforce,” Hegseth said in a video posted on X Sunday. “But it’s a really big workforce as well, which we recognize.”
Hegseth described the OPM request as a “pulse check.”
