Military cyber jobs would get expanded roles and potentially higher pay.
This bill would expand the types of cyber jobs in the DoD that get special hiring and keeping perks. It would let some highly skilled cyber staff earn higher basic pay. This aims to help the military attract and keep experts needed to protect U.S. interests online.
Today, the Department of Defense cyber workforce has specific rules for job types and pay, and the Secretary of Defense reports on it every five years. After this bill, more cyber positions, including up to 500 critical hard-to-fill roles, would be included in the special service. Some employees could get basic pay up to 150 percent of the maximum for top government executives. The Secretary of Defense would also report on the program in three years with more details.
