Defense will continue to grow its civilian workforce by replacing contractors with civilian employees, a process known as insourcing. The department is on track to reduce the number of support service contractors from 39 percent of the workforce in 2009, to 26 percent, the level prior to 2001. Through 2011, Defense will authorize the hiring of 19,800 civil servants as part of the insourcing initiative.

I believe this could refer to IT jobs as well as others,since IT provides mission critical support services. To learn more go to http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?articleid=44522&oref=toda...
