Fort Meade Recalls More Than 200 Employees Furloughed

Fort Meade officials say they have recalled more than 200 Garrison employees who had been furloughed during the government shutdown.

According to officials, the employees reported to work Monday, and the Fort Meade commissary also reopened for business Monday.

“The secretary directed that the Department of Defense could eliminate furloughs for employees whose responsibilities contribute to the morale, well-being, capabilities and readiness of service members,” John Moeller, deputy garrison commander, said. “That’s exactly what the garrison civilians at Fort Meade do every day so we instructed our staff to return to work.”

  1. Any idea why they have frozen deployments and also suspended all leaves. I understand not deploying, that's costly. Allowing leave saves money.
