Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness

**Values** Everything we do must done with quality and value in mind. We must never forget that without people, none of this works. People are the center of gravity and everything we do is aimed to ensure they stay ready, so our nation is not caught trying to get ready for whatever comes next. Our work must be underscored with honesty, reliability, and trustworthiness. We take responsibility and accountability for the good and the bad, whether it is with our teams or with our stakeholders. We do what we say we will. We have several stakeholders both internal and external to the Department. It is imperative that we work together and develop a habit of asking “who else should be at the table?” We work in a way that is welcoming and inclusive, appreciate what each of us brings to the table, recognize our teammates for their contributions, and treat each other with dignity and respect. This is how we promote a positive work culture where people feel valued and maximize their autonomy, mastery, and purpose. **Purpose – Vision – Mission** PURPOSE To support and enable the people who serve in defense of our nation. People feel valued and maximize their autonomy, mastery, and purpose. VISION A diverse, reslilient, and ready DoD community. MISSION We are on a mission to ensure a strong, adaptable, and ready force supported through exceptional policy, programs, and services.
