Information for Veterans

The Department of Defense (DoD) provides employment opportunities for men and women who honorably served on behalf of our Nation. As the largest Federal employer of veterans, we are committed to providing every veteran who wants to serve our country as a DoD civil servant the opportunity to do so.

As a civilian in the Department of Defense, you can play an important part in the defense of our Nation and in helping support our Armed Forces. The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and other agencies in the Department of Defense employ more than 700,000 civilian employees. There are nearly 700 occupations that can offer veterans diverse, challenging and rewarding careers.

We recognize that the transition from military service to civilian service in the Department of Defense can be challenging and often confusing. We trust that this website helps you navigate career possibilities and hiring procedures more easily. If we did not answer your questions, please do not hesitate to Ask Us, and we will respond to you within 48 hours.
