The Streamline DoD Cyber Recruitment Act, also known as Bill 117 hr 6197, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress aimed at improving the recruitment process for cybersecurity professionals within the Department of Defense (DoD). The bill seeks to address the growing need for skilled cyber personnel within the DoD by streamlining the recruitment process and making it more efficient.

One of the key provisions of the bill is the establishment of a centralized cyber recruitment program within the DoD. This program would be responsible for coordinating and overseeing the recruitment of cyber professionals across all branches of the military. By centralizing the recruitment process, the bill aims to eliminate redundancies and streamline the hiring process, making it easier for qualified candidates to join the DoD.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the development of a standardized set of qualifications and requirements for cyber positions within the DoD. This would help ensure that all candidates are evaluated based on the same criteria, making the recruitment process more fair and transparent. Overall, the Streamline DoD Cyber Recruitment Act is designed to address the growing need for cybersecurity professionals within the DoD by improving the recruitment process and making it more efficient. By centralizing recruitment efforts and standardizing qualifications, the bill aims to attract top talent to help protect the nation's critical infrastructure and national security interests.
