Closer Look at DoD Plans

DoD said it currently is shooting for issuing proposed regulations by the end of this calendar year, with final regulations in spring 2005 and implementation to begin “in the July 2005 timeframe.” The first implementation “will consist of a formal pilot program that will provide valuable experience across a number of different commands and work-types before broad implementation across the department.” Officials have said that carrying out the changes across the department could be a several-year project.
