Military and civilian engineers share a unique mission within the Defense Department – to advance cutting-edge engineering technology, systems and practices in specializations that range from cyber and space to hypersonics and quantum science and more, all in support of the warfighter.
There's a lot that engineers within the Defense Department have in common with their counterparts in the private sector, but it's what's different that makes them so important to the defense of the nation.
The Defense Department's cyber workforce is tasked with defending virtually every system that the department relies on to protect national security, a cyber leader said.
When the COVID-19 virus spread to the United States, the Defense Department took on many roles: protecting its people, supporting the national pandemic response and ensuring the armed forces were ready to meet the national security mission.
The Iraqi government is investigating three attacks on U.S. bases in the country and is doing a careful and complete job, Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby said.
Engineers who have experience in both the public and private sector bring a lot of value to their employers, said the principal director for fully networked command, control and communications within the office of the undersecretary of defense for research and engineering.
Engineers are critical to the Defense Department's efforts to achieve its goals and priorities in space, according to the department's principal director for space.
Quantum science is important for the Defense Department, because of the revolutionary technologies that it will bring to the warfighters, a DOD official said.
