The document says “shouldWho acts: DNI, CIAHow: internal managementp. 211 in the PDF
What the document says

“Senior officers should be required to sign mobility agreements that allow ODNI and CIA leadership to move them within the IC every two years if necessary.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 211

The chapter says some long-serving generalist officers no longer perform at a high level, are management driven and limit junior officers' prospects. It asks that agencies work with the Office of Personnel Management on voluntary separation buyouts to reduce what it calls bloat and underperforming cadre.

What the document actually says

“Senior officers should be required to sign mobility agreements that allow ODNI and CIA leadership to move them within the IC every two years if necessary.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 211
That sentence, in plain words

Senior officers should sign a deal. It would let leaders move them to a new post every two years.

What this is about

Senior officers often stay in one post for years. The book says leaders should be able to move them. It would happen as often as every two years.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
