Personal Impact
Federal employees at the State Department, Defense Department, Treasury, Commerce, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the CIA would be directly affected by the requirement to staff new adversary alignment task forces. These task forces need subject matter experts on all four adversary nations, plus representatives covering all core agency functions. This creates new workload and organizational requirements, though it also provides a structured framework for work many of these employees are already doing.
