Can anyone say what the lab mission is in 1 sentence?
If so, then explain the need for 6500 workers?
If so, then how close is this to LANL's mission?
"Can anyone say what the lab mission is in 1 sentence?"
To make profit.
"If so, then explain the need for 6500 workers?"
You need enough people to make it look credible. We could do this with less people.
"If so, then how close is this to LANL's mission?"
Workers are liabilities, so we could go down to 4000 people, which would reduce safety and security incidents and pass most of PBIs at the same time.

Protect the Nation by ensuring Nuclear Deterrence.
That's about half what's needed.
Same mission as LANL, which employs the other half.
Please do pay attention in class 9:41!
Sounds good but that is not the mission.
Make no mistake LANS and LLNS are about profit. Why do think they are going nuts in LANL right now after they lost the bonus, that's all they care about.
"Driving this change is a deep-seated belief that took hold in corporate America a few decades ago and has come to define today’s economy — that a company’s primary purpose is to maximize shareholder value.
Together with new competition overseas, the pressure to respond to the short-term demands of Wall Street has paved the way for an economy in which companies are increasingly disconnected from the state of the nation, laying off workers in huge waves, keeping average wages low and threatening to move operations abroad in the face of regulations and taxes.
Corporations are stand alone perpetual legal entities whose 'western' legal objective is profit maximization.

Charlie boy was very clear that this is his personal mission. Please pay attention in his all-hands meetings!
Corporation or company it is all about the cash. We are for profit and profit is the mission. Looks like it worked out real well.

Really?? What planet are you on? LANS lost 90% of its "profit" this year.
LLCs are about profit, LLNL and LANL are LLCs so they are also about profit. Does something more need to said?
And, of course, to rake in several million more each year as compensation.
You forgot to mention when the walls of financial accountability close in on LANS management, or their partners at LLNS, these LLCs will smile and say, "beam us up Scotty".
