– Only deploying units in Afghanistan, Korea and the division ready brigade will be allowed to conduct readiness training. All other units will conduct collective small unit training in first part of fiscal 2014. That means 78 percent of non-deploying brigade combat teams will be ill-prepared for future contingency operations.

– Interrupts timeline for pulling vehicles and equipment out of Afghanistan and delays reset of $20 billion in post war equipment needed for future operations.



– No new depot maintenance orders issued beyond January. This could affect units in Alaska, Georgia, Hawaii, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, New York and North Carolina and delay the repair and reset of 1,300 tactical vehicles, 14,000 radios and 17,000 weapons.

– 250,000 Army civilians would be furloughed for up to 22 days.

– 5,000 contract, temporary and term employees would be released.

– 21 of the Army’s 26 major acquisition priorities could incur significant Nunn-McCurdy breaches, affecting 300 contractors and 1000 suppliers in 40 states.

– $2.5 billion worth of contractor logistics support would be unfunded, impacting counter improvised explosive device operations, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and aviation operations.

That's cool, I guess I'll just start using all my personal kit and training on my own time...Since apparently the needs of all of our service men and women are no longer important.0

Don't feel too bad, the majority of our work-up was 'notional'. ECP's and VCP's constructed of stakes and engineer's tape. MOUT training using 2x4's laid out like rooms of a building. America, FUCK YEA

We don't need good soldiers since China and The UN will be our new masters if he keeps control of the reigns.

yea that sounds about like what were doing now. Last week out MOUT training room was made out of reflective belt and traffic cones. And when we did get blank we had to spread load them so rifleman got 10 rounds and SAW gunners got 15 rounds.
