Based in Alexandria, Virginia, Department of Defense Education Activity has offered occasional and temporary job opportunities for its staff of more than 15,000 employees.

Globally, Department of Defense Education Activity operates nearly 170 accredited schools across the U.S. and in 11 foreign countries. More than 73,000 children of active-duty military attend DoDEA schools. A field activity of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Department of Defense Education Activity provides educational services in three global areas: the Americas, Asia, and Europe. The mission of the DoDEA is to help ensure that school-aged children of military families have access to the best educational opportunities possible.

Established in the wake of World War II, Department of Defense Education Activity was founded to help educate children of men and women who had served throughout Europe and in the Pacific theater. As the number of schools grew, the Defense Department brought the schools together to operate under the Department of Defense Education Activity, an umbrella agency. Serving children from kindergarten through 12th grade, DoDEA today operates schools worldwide.
