      "summary": "Each year, over one hundred commissioned military officers and Department of Defense (DOD)\ncivilians participate in diverse programs outside DOD aimed at professional education of the\nindividual and enrichment for the services and the host agency. Over the years, the general process\nof assigning DOD personnel, and especially military officers, outside of the Department has drawn\npublic scrutiny. With U.S. forces involved in numerous military operations around the world and\nexperiencing a high degree of personnel tempo, many have raised concerns that assignment of\nmilitary officers to Defense Fellows Programs may detract from war-fighting efforts. Thus, it\nappears likely there will be ongoing congressional interest in and oversight of these programs. This\nreport will be updated as events warrant.",
