It’s easier to transfer than break in, but wouldn’t say it’s easy. Especially if you’re leaving the DOD. I can speak to DOS, internally transferring throughout the department is relatively easy.

Transferring within a given agency is fairly easy, transferring between agencies can be a grind. Still easier than getting in in the first place, but usually not "easy," especially if you have a highly specialized skillset that isn't common.
Former colleague of mine took 7 years to find a role outside her agency because she had a niche skillset that isn't common in the feds.
I started off DOD with the intention of transferring after one year. Received offers from both DHS and State. However I did have to put in a crap ton of applications.
3 years went to Department of State
