After DOD unveiled the National Security Personnel System this week, there are a lot of civilian employees in the department that still have questions, according to the Washington Post. For example, what do the new salary scales look like and where do workers fit in to them? In place of the General Schedule, DOD is putting in occupational groups and within each group are “pay bands” that will take in two or more of the old grades. Details on the new bands and career groups remain under development. Will they surface before the first group of employees get shoved into the new system in February
The National Reconnaissance Office is seeing “great output” from its constellation of proliferated low Earth orbit satellites and is working with the Space Force and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to operationalize the capability, according to Deputy Director Maj. Gen. Chris Povak.
