U.S. Army in Europe leaders understand that reductions in civilian manpower are difficult and Army in Europe leaders are fully aware of the potential effects -- both professionally and personally -- reductions can have on the workforce.
"I understand that these reductions will affect the lives of those who are dedicated employees of U.S. Army, Europe. For this reason, I am asking all senior leaders and supervisors of those affected to do their very best to mitigate the effects of these actions on our employees," U.S. Army, Europe Commander Lt. Gen. Mark P. Hertling said. "Local civilian personnel specialists will work with each affected employee to ensure they understand their rights, the options available, and work with those effected in an attempt to ensure we assist them with new opportunities."
