The term DoD Civilian Work Force is defined as which group?

• A. US Citizens or foreign nationals hired directly or indirectly to work for DoD, excluding contract employees
• B. Volunteers
• C. Contract Employees
• D. Active Duty Soldiers

Answer: (A)

The DoD Civilian Work Force consists of non-military personnel who are employed to support DoD, including US citizens and foreign nationals, whether hired directly by DoD or through a DoD-affiliated entity. The key point is that these are DoD employees who are not on active military duty, and contract personnel are not included. Volunteers aren’t employees, and active duty soldiers are military, not civilians. So the definition matches those hired to work for DoD as civilians (directly or indirectly) while explicitly excluding contract employees.
