Acquisition Workforce Transformation• Jan 2019: USD(A&S) directed an assessment of the Acquisition workforce to

streamline the governance structure and the number of career fields; all workforce efforts put on hold

• Oct 2019: DAU launches a Credential Pilot Program as part of its own transformation

• Dec 2019/Jan 2020: 3 Taskforces stood up to identify credentials for DAU (PM, CON, LCL)

• Jan 2020: Mission of the 3 Taskforces evolves to include developing a streamlined certification process for their career fields

• May 2020: 3 additional Taskforces stood up – ENG, T&E, and BUS/FM 9
