[HASC, Rep Wittman] "When those deaths are preventable, and when there's negligence at issue, we need to act"
Rep Wittman highlighted the death of EOD 1LT Zachary Galli
Recent reporting came out;
>In it, the Army says the required risk assessment paperwork for the platoon’s training rotations wasn’t done. Neither were required safety inspections. The report also states there was confusion at Fort Johnson over who was supposed to conduct said inspections.
>The lock supposedly securing the door Galli fell through was missing, even though the most recent inspection said the door was “locked and secured.”

Good news everyone! All those training cancellations aren't happening!
Good news u/agencyturbulent8285, I guess that sapper cancellation was a joke!
WTF posted about the cancellation of PMEs in certain locations too
So if your training and TDYs are cancelled - just know, there's no funding problem, there's no cancellations, just prudent planning.
Because that's what IIIAC seems to be doing, right. Prudent planning

Article 32 Preliminary Hearing Set for Fort Hood Army Doctor Charged in Sexual Assault Case Involving 73 Victims
With the long history of this doctor that they’ve been going through, the multiple duty stations, and the volume of victims, and the possibility that there are still more out there – I think it’s important to highlight when there are major steps in this case.
If you haven’t heard about this, and you had Blaine McGraw as an OB/GYN, and you have a story about that you need to tell, make sure that you’re reaching out to CID or a lawyer.

[SASC Hearing, 12MAY26, w/ SECARMY, CSA] Sen Reed: "The Army is facing a 2 billion dollar readiness shortfall...I received concerning reports for the potential to cancelling training rotations, grounded flight hours, and reduced Guard/Reserve...resources"
https://reddit.com/link/1tb4seq/video/gtlh24dk3q0h1/player
We have had multiple posts about the cancellation of PME, Sapper, BOLC difficulties, JFO MTT cancellation - and over in /armyaviation they've talked about the FHP cuts.
If you haven't seen, it was posted on Army Aviation almost two weeks ago, but III AC has cut remaining FHP by 97% - and they actually had 'overspent', so they had to give money back.
We have seen local PME cuts;
Basic and Advanced Camp are beginning to restrict slots;
And we've seen cancellations like Sapper;
So for those having issues with TDY approvals, with getting to courses - it's not just you.
There's a shortfall for the budget - I will note I believe there are a multitude of factors, and it is not solely or primarily caused by the border mission and DHS reimbursement. Reed asserts that in his comments, but I believe it goes into a poorly planned and executed Army budget.
Last year, CSA Randy George told everyone to expect a 20% cut to TDY funding - I question if the Army took that seriously and actually deprogrammed.
Expect to hear/see more of this as it comes. There's a funding issue that we will need Congress to bail us out from - which they may be a little gunshy to do since we've failed to provide explanations on reconciliation, and the last time they gave us 1 billion for a problem, we doled out $1776 bonuses.
But if you're trying to get some TDY or course done this year - secure that funding immediately.
