That's a well qualified guess from someone who worked there. Most of the DoD civilians and contractors at these labs are secretaries, support staff, or contractors who contribute nothing more than red tape to actual R&D.
If you work at one of those labs and are personally affected I'm sorry for you and wish you luck, but maybe you shouldn't have all been playing solitaire 25 hours a week and mooching off of the taxpayer while I walked your halls for a year.
