You may have heard talk recently of Fort Huachuca potentially losing 2,700 jobs. There's a lot of confusion and some misinformation floating around on exactly what that means. I'll try to clear some of that up.
Perhaps most importantly, this isn't just about Fort Huachuca. Rather, the potential loss of 2,700 jobs (actually, 2,739, which includes 1,726 permanent party soldiers and 1,013 Army civilians) is part of the larger Army 2020 Force Structure Realignment. The realignment considers huge force reductions at 30 installations Army-wide between 2015 and 2020.
Soldiers who hit the bars every night........I used to be one when I was in the Army
Where we need LOTS of RIFs is in Washington DC.
Agree!!!
Thanks!
NETCOM recently changed to “2nd-Army-something” and scuttlebutt includes a significant funding reduction — which I suppose is most easily accommodated with a reduction in headcount.
I don’t know if NETCOM will shoulder the lion’s share of the reductions, but I personally know there is some hand-wringing and tooth-gnashing going on.
