The Navy announced that it is phasing out the Naval Material Command and distributing its responsibilities among other commands in a move to streamline the acquisition of weapons and other materiel. A total of 450 positions, with payroll costs of $13.5 million a year, will be eliminated through attrition. The Navy said 600 to 700 other personnel in five remaining systems commands will be transferred to field positions to reduce a concentration of “high-ranked people” in Washington.
