The Latest Effects from Sequester Cuts at Fort Bragg

Due to the Army’s ongoing fiscal constraints, the Fort Bragg Public Affairs Office announced the following changes late Wednesday:

- Retiree Appreciation Days (RAD), originally scheduled for May 17 and 18, 2013, is postponed. Fort Bragg is working diligently to reschedule this event in the fall, and new dates will be announced as soon as possible.

- The Directorate of Public Works will reduce Garrison-funded custodial services. This will not affect customers who pay for their custodial services. Child Development Centers and high-traffic areas (chapels, Throckmorton Library, Bank Hall, basement and first floor of the Social Support Center) will continue to receive limited custodial services.

- Lighting at all sports fields, except Hedrick and Towle Stadiums, have been turned off to save on utility costs. The lights at Hedrick and Towle will only be on from 6 to 8 a.m., during duty days.

Fort Bragg will continue to execute its central missions of preparing Airborne and Special Operations forces to deploy to ongoing and contingency operations while providing core life, health and safety services to the installation’s residents and workforce during this period of budgetary uncertainty.
