The Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA) is a Department of Defense field activity that runs personnel programs serving the whole department rather than a single service. Its components include the Defense Manpower Data Center, which keeps the personnel and identity records behind the Common Access Card and military benefits, the Defense Civilian Personnel Advisory Service, which sets civilian HR policy, and the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, which trains equal opportunity staff.
Recent listings have included human resources specialists, one in compensation, a program manager and a supervisory program manager for talent development, a supervisory program analyst, a program and management analyst for acquisition, IT specialists and an IT program manager in policy and planning, a training specialist and an equal employment specialist serving as a course management trainer.
Applying tip: DHRA jobs are policy and program roles, so describe the size of the population your programs covered and the regulations or data systems you worked within rather than listing routine transactions. The HR jobs guide explains how federal HR specialties are defined, and the program management guide covers the analyst titles.
