It means reduction in force. When I arrived at my unit as a butter-bar I was shocked to find a list of officers posted on the wall who were being shown the door. The Army was downsizing fast in light of the Democrat Congress's budget cuts, which they deceptively called a “peace dividend.” My unit was full of Captains desperate to get a successful command under their belt to avoid a RIF.
