Require senior intelligence officers to accept reassignment every two years
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.”
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.”
Senior officers should sign a deal. It would let leaders move them to a new post every two years.
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.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. The Office of Personnel Management rule widens agency authority to waive the normal payment limits on recruitment and relocation incentives and lets agencies set shorter service periods. It makes paying for a move easier, but the incentives are voluntary and individual. It does not require senior intelligence officers to sign mobility agreements, gives leadership at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA no power to reassign them every two years, and does not address the separation buyouts the chapter asks for. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
