NSPD BackgroundNSPD Background
Why are we here? – QDR– 9/11 Lessons Learned– Katrina Lessons Learned– Beyond Goldwater-Nichols ( study and research conducted
by Center for Strategic and International Studies -CSIS) DOD’s early involvement in NSPD:– DoD’s role in the early formation of the NSPD initiative– NSEC – National Security Education Consortium (now
known as NSETC)– DoD concept of “National Security Officer” became
“National Security Professional”Role in drafting the Executive Order
11
NSPD EstablishmentNSPD Establishment
Executive Order 13434 – National Security Professional Development (17 May 2007)National Strategy for the Development of Security Professionals (July 2007)National Strategy Implementation Plan (est. September 2008)
EO 13434 – Section 1
“In order to enhance the national security of the United States…it is the policy of the United States to promote the education, training, and experience of current and future professionals in national security positions…”
12
“Help ensure current and future professionals in national security positions possess the knowledge, skills, abilities, attitudes, and experiences they need to work with their counterparts to plan and execute coordinated, effective interagency national security operations.”
Issued by NSPD Interagency Executive Steering Committee, May, 2008
National Security Professional Development Vision
13
“Federal national security professionals are those personnel in positions responsible for developing strategies, creating plans to implement, and executing common missions in direct support of U.S. national security objectives.”
(Homeland Security Council, 2/19/08)
Criteria:Positions for inclusion would be those individuals that;
– May be called upon in US Government operations or crises – Have significant interaction with other departments, agencies or government
entities– Have a role in executing aspects of the National Security Strategy of the
United States of America (2006), National Strategy for Homeland Security (2007), National Defense Strategy, National Strategy for Combating WMD, Department of State Strategic Plan, National Implementation Plan for the War on Terrorism, National Infrastructure Protection Plan, and the National Response Framework
– Have a role in the execution of elements of the National Response Plan, habitually have interaction with counterparts and colleagues in other departments and agencies and whose duties fall under national security category. If in doubt about a position, include it.
– With minor exceptions, this identification may exclude organizational support positions (those whose occupants have responsibilities solely for budgetary and financial matters, human resources, or are administrative in nature).
NSP Definition
This definition supports DoD’s phased approach to scoping NSP positions and rolling out implementation steps.

NSPD is a journey – a program in the making.
Short Term offerings on pilot basis thru December 2008:OrientationTraining- FEMA and National Security on-line courses“Lessons Learned” interagency sessions and exercises
What does NSP designation mean today?
15
NSPD is a journey – a program in the making.
Long Term program – ensure NSP’s have certain capabilities that will make interagency planning and cooperation institutionalized, vice improvised. Long Term program elements may include:Training– Core training to support NSPD capabilities (next slide)– Customized training to support specific interagency mission of the Department
Education– Educational programs in various agency, interagency and private educational
institutional settings– Education programs will deepen NSPD capabilities as well as compliment DoD
leadership competencies (slides 10 and 11)Professional Experience– Rotations and exercise participation
Those with NSP training, education and rotational assignments will be more competitive when applying for NSP designated positions.
What does NSP designation mean in the future?

17
To date within DoD:367 SES positions designated as NSPOf those, 37 SES NSP positions further defined as having NRF responsibilitiesAdditional welcome sessions, on-line training, and other sessions in the worksNext phase: scoping of GS 13 – 15 (and equivalent)
NSPD State of Play - Civilian
18
Role of the DoD Implementation Office is evolving. It is anticipated that the Office will:
Co-develop and oversee (with J7) DoD’s NSPD Implementation PlanTrack civilian NSPs and their training, education, and professional experience activitiesFacilitate rotational assignments across the interagencyProvide advice to the interagency Integration OfficeArrange for DoD experts to serve as expert advisors on interagency NSPD working groupsRepresent the interests of DoD and its leadership in NSPD matters related to civilians

What Do We Mean by “Civilian Expeditionary Workforce” Capability?
– A ready, trained, and cleared workforce for rapid response and quick assimilation into new environments to support:
Humanitarian missions, disaster relief, restoring order in civil disordersSecurity, Stability, Transition, and Reconstruction operationsContingencies, emergencies, and combat operation missions of DoD
or remain in place and respond with the same swiftness to such events

Civilian Expeditionary Workforce Model
Features:
Designated subset of employees to respond within 72 hours to 30 days of notification
– EE - Emergency Essential - a position-based designation to support combat operations or combat-essential systems in a combat zone (10 U.S.C. 1580). Deployability required as condition of employment
– NCE - Non Combat Essential - a position-based designation to support non combat missions. Deployability required as condition of employment
– CBV - Capability Based Employee Volunteers – a
personnel-based designation to support voluntary identification of capabilities outside scope of an employee’s position for EE and NCE requirements
– Inventory of former or retired DoD Employees prepared to support backfill or deployed requirements

Civilian Expeditionary Workforce Model
Expeditionary Readiness Index– Determines state of readiness (% of employees prepared) – Deployment cycles established for rotational predictability (similar
to Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) strategy)– Establishes indicators and dashboard to track and report readiness:
• Annual Medical/dental/physical• Training
– 4-week Orientation upon designation – 14 Day annual refresher training– Just In Time Training
• Valid security clearance, Official passport, CAC Card, Geneva Convention Card
• Family Plans, Competencies
Deployment Index– Determines functional community deployment strength (% of
positions and employees) – Positions designated and capabilities identified based upon recent
history and mission requirements– Requirements validated by CoCOMs and Components
23
Expeditionary Workforce Key Policy Proposals – Position Based
Expeditionary Workforce “Membership”– 5 year renewable term– Individual deployments generally not to exceed 1 year– Meet readiness index requirements
Expeditionary Workforce Agreement – Terms
– Serve when called– Meet and maintain readiness requirements– Complete the 5 year renewable term
– Vacant Position Requirements • Statement in PDs and Job Announcements• Signature of Agreement
– Position Designated After Encumbered • 45 Day Notice to Employee • May be directed to perform the duties• May be reassigned to another position
24
Expeditionary Workforce Key Policy Proposals – Position Based
Unable or Unwilling to Serve – May be reassigned if practicable, consistent with mission, AND
supervisory approval – May be removed
EEO Considerations– Requirement to comply with Rehabilitation Act of 1973 for
reasonable accommodation in cases of disabilities
Single Job Opportunity Website
Employee Right to return to position of record – Experience valued – Considered career enhancing
Supervisory requirement to release employees unless negative impact on mission– Backfills as possible – Maintain contact with employee and family
Employee Medical Care– Same scope of care as is provided to military members while
deployed (current policy)
25
Expeditionary Workforce Key Policy Proposals – Capability Based
Capability Based Employee Volunteers and Retired Corps
– Self report based upon identified critical capabilities – Requirements:
• Cannot involuntarily direct assignments unless related to job • Voluntarily agree to meet Readiness Requirements • “Three strikes and you are out of the database”
Applicable Policy Requirements:• Right to Return to Position of Record• Supervisory Release unless negative mission impact• Medical Care if ill or injured in Theater • Organizational Support
Non Applicable Policy Requirements:• Decline opportunity with no penalty
