The US Department of Defense (DoD) is set to make deep job cuts, with plans to reduce its workforce by 50,000-60,000 civilian positions.
This is part of a bigger strategy by the Trump administration to shrink the federal workforce and dismantle US agencies.
The Pentagon's civilian workforce currently numbers over 900,000.
To achieve its targets, DoD plans to cut about 6,000 jobs each month by not replacing leaving employees.
