The '''Defense Human Resources Activity''' (DHRA) is a [[United States Department of Defense]] (DoD) Field Activity chartered to support the [[Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness]] (USD(P&R)). The scope of DHRA's mission is very broad, giving the USD flexibility to explore and field new technologies and programs that benefit warfighters, their family members, as well as DoD civilians.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cloud HR, Time Tracking |url=https://info.microkeeper.com.au/ |access-date=2024-10-17 |website=info.microkeeper |language=en}}</ref>
