If the hiring freeze stays in place you will see a very drastic degrading of military readiness over the next few years. Civilians are the backbone of military acquisition and a lot of them are retiring
Civilians almost outnumber soldiers in the military.
We have more generals now than we did in 1945 with 90 divisions.
unfortunately, I don't think civilians in the DoD are included in the freeze. If they are, then fricking awesome. They are bloat at the DoD and half of them need to be gone yesterday.

They are included for now. Ive seen the memo myself. Typically acquisition positions are exempt but not this time.
Fyi, acquisition is how we maintain our tech edge on our enemies. Hence why usually exempt... Will you be celebrating when china rolls out a plane better than our fighters?
