The Defense Department has called on its civilian employees to submit ideas aimed at eliminating waste and enhancing efficiency. This request concludes a previous initiative known as the five-bullet exercise, which required employees to share weekly achievements. Jules Hurst III, the acting undersecretary, emphasized that contributions can range in scale and encouraged creativity in submissions, while also directing staff to avoid including sensitive information. The initiative is part of a broader drive to instill efficiency similar to practices found in the private sector, as promoted by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
The final email, seen by Business Insider, was sent last week by Jules Hurst III, the acting undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness.
I invite you to be creative. It can be big or small. It can be focused on a particular program or on larger Department operations.
