I am a 2210 on a military base (632 work code in IT Cyberspace) that finished my probation period in November 2024. I am in Acqdemo and was curious if that has any impact (good or bad) on potential layoff/RIF. Also if this first round of layoffs, what is predicted as the next round? Career conditional, employees approaching retirement, etc? Just trying to see if im.likely to survive the purge

Do a search on the OPM site for RIF guidance. There is a structured process for how RIFs are conducted and it's laid out there.

In short, there are a handful of criteria that are weighted to draw up the RIF order, including type of appointment and tenure. Employees are grouped by weighted criteria and then RIFs go down the list in order. It's all laid out in detail in the OPM RIF guide.

Unfortunately, POTUS and DOGE have zero plans to use that guidance and instead are following an approach of "whatever the hell we can get away with."
