19 Nov 13 - Budget

Question:  What does the budget look like?

Answer:  From the IMCOM perspective, LTG Ferriter has already taken its cuts plus 12% across the board. All Division HQs will take a 20% cut, and DoD will take an additional 14% cut.  IMCOM may not survive and may go away in a few years.  If so, then we will become a FORSCOM Garrison (like we were in 04).  The Army Personnel Budget will continue to reduce manpower.  Special Duty Incentive Pay will be cut.  Looking at privatizing facilities on installations like they did with lodging and housing.  Commissary might be next.  We will see a change in Jan/Feb if things don’t get fixed.  Budget wisely and put money away in your savings and TSP.  We can possibly be furloughed again in 2014.
