All DoD civilian positions are categorized into three security groups: Competitive Service, Excepted Service, and Senior Executive Service.

All DoD civilian positions are categorized into the following security groups:

Competitive Service: Positions that are closely regulated by Congress through the Office of Personnel Management. Candidates for these positions have to meet certain qualifications and go through a fair hiring process.
Excepted Service: Positions that are exempt from the hiring regulations set for the competitive service. They either require a more rigorous hiring process or have specific skill requirements.
Senior Executive Service: Leadership positions that require candidates to demonstrate executive core qualifications (ECQs) such as leading change, being results-driven, demonstrating business acumen, and building better coalitions.
