(KNZA)--An Army team will conduct a town hall meeting in Leavenworth Thursday evening to discuss the implications of a proposed reduction of 25-hundred military and civilian positions at Fort Leavenworth.
The meeting, which is open to the public, is scheduled from 3:30 to 5:30 at the Riverfront Community Center.
The force reduction is part of a congressional budget mandate to reduce the size of Army personnel from 490,000 to at least 450,000 and possibly fewer by 2020. The personnel reduction involves both military and civilian support positions.
At Fort Leavenworth, a reduction-in-force commission established a reduction of 1,750 military positions and 750 civilian positions.
