Defense Manpower Data Center

The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) is a component of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) that manages personnel data for military and civilian staff. It collects, maintains, and analyzes information about service members and their families, including details on demographics, employment, and benefits. This data supports various government functions, including planning and policy-making, ensuring effective resource allocation and decision-making within the military community. The DMDC also helps in verifying the eligibility of individuals for benefits and services, thereby playing a crucial role in the overall administration of defense personnel.
