Fox News Digital has contacted the Pentagon, White House and the Office of Human Resources (OPM).
The Pentagon has around 950,000 private employees, and probation employment generally lasts for a year, but can last for two to three years in some positions, the news report says.
The agency also serves around 1.3 million active military members and nearly 800,000 more security guards and reserves.

However, the Trump administration has exempted military personnel from wiping out budget cuts.
Potential firing is occurring as Doge oversees drastic cuts in spending and personnel in other parts of the federal government, and more recently dismantling the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

Musk accused Doge of aggressively cutting unnecessary spending under Trump. However, the cost reduction group faces scrutiny from Democrats over access to federal systems, including the Treasury payment system, and moves to cancel federal contracts and cuts at various agencies.
“This is a promise President Trump has campaigned for, and he's offering it now,” White House spokesman Caroline Leavitt told “Hanity” Monday.
