Description
Mission — SMC Civilian Pay
Space Systems Command (SSC) equips US and allied forces with operational space and missile systems, launch systems, and command and control infrastructure in support of global military and national security operations. SSC operates with over 6,300 people and an annual budget exceeding 6.4B providing joint warfighters navigation, communication, weather, warning, force application, and space control capabilities. SSC is authorized to employ approximately 1,611 civilian acquisition professionals providing the management, tools, and technical capabilities needed to oversee acquisition programs to include materiel solution analysis, technology development, engineering and manufacturing development, production and deployment, and operations and support. This funding does not include costs for base operating support civilian personnel supporting the SBD3 at Los Angeles AFB. Funding SSC civilian payroll from the RDT&E appropriation provides program managers the flexibility to hire additional civilian personnel with program dollars versus additional contractors in concert with initiatives in response to the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act. This program element supports both civilian pay and non-pay support requirements. The FY 2026 projection is 269.162M. The projection is sufficient based on End-Strength, premium pay, performance, awards, and projected hires.

Funding SSC civilian payroll from the RDT&E appropriation provides program managers the flexibility to hire additional civilian personnel with program dollars versus additional contractors in concert with initiatives in response to the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA). This program element supports both civilian pay and non-pay support requirements. The FY 2026 request was reduced by 35.694M for civilian personnel to optimize the workforce in compliance with Executive Order 14210, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative.” This program element includes a transfer of 12.310M and 65 full-time equivalents to SSC to support USSF acquisition workforce realignment objectives. In FY 2026 269.162M is forecasted to expend for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support because this budget activity includes research, development, test and evaluation efforts and funds to sustain and/or modernize the installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.
