in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Office of the Secretary of Defense cannot have more than 4,300 military and civilian personnel. This cap includes its Direct Support Activities and the Washington Headquarters Services. The Secretary of Defense cannot dodge the cap by simply reassigning functions elsewhere.

(a) Permanent limitation on OSD personnel. The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) may not have more than 4,300 personnel. (b) OSD personnel defined. "OSD personnel" means military and civilian Department of Defense personnel assigned to, or working in, the Office of the Secretary of Defense — including its Direct Support Activities and the Department's Washington Headquarters Services. (c) Limitation on reassigning functions. When the Secretary of Defense reduces OSD staff to meet the 4,300 cap, the Secretary cannot get around this limit by reassigning OSD functions elsewhere in the Department just to evade the requirement.
