FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Jan. 19, 2018) FORT BRAGG, N.C. -- Fort Bragg is actively preparing for an emergency government shutdown and its associated furlough.

Regardless of a government shutdown or not, all Service members will continue to report for duty. The installation will remain operational. We will remain able to fulfill our mission of ensuring our Service members are mission ready and able to deploy upon order, and ensuring the life safety and health of all personnel assigned to Fort Bragg is maintained.

If Congress cannot come to an agreement by midnight tonight, we will begin implementing our plan to reduce non-mission critical services the morning of Monday, Jan. 22.

All civilian workforce members will report for duty as scheduled Monday morning.

Based on initial guidance from the Department of Defense and the Department of the Army, Col. Kyle Reed (the Garrison commander) and the garrison directors took great care in identifying mission essential activities that are allowed under federal rules to continue in the absence of appropriations. These 'excepted activities' are those services required for national security -- including the safety of human life or the protection of property. They then identified the specific civilian employees who will be 'excepted' from furlough and those who will be furloughed.

Those who do not fill mission critical positions will be notified that they are being furloughed on Monday morning.

For the garrison civilian workforce, out of approximately 1,235 employees, almost 800 will be furloughed. We fully realize that the customers of our services, the Service members, their families, our civilian workforce and others can expect to experience delays in support and in some cases, closure of non-mission essential services, most notably in our Family, Moral, Welfare and Recreation programs.

The continuing resolution and pending government shutdown are in the hands of our elected officials, and we are hopeful there is enough time for Congress to prevent a lapse in appropriations.

We regret we are facing this situation. We understand the frustration and stress it is placing on our workforce, everyone who is stationed here and on our local community. We are doing what we can to reduce the impact as much as possible.

The Fort Bragg civilian workforce is an incredibly talented organization that continually executes its mission to the highest standard. Together we will overcome this in time, like all other challenges.

Please direct any further questions on a potential shutdown to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
