    Well said BG Marty France!
    I’ve checked in with my former work colleagues at the DOD (US Army) and the military leadership are, literally, speechless, not knowing a way forward, they’re just not saying anything to the work force – because they don’t know what to tell them. The leadership is more baffled than the work force! They have no regulatory references to fall back on and are afraid of the perception of creation of a hostile work environment if they say anything, a legal problem in and of itself with generation of lawsuits, grievances, union action, congressional action, IG complaints, the list goes on. Just what leaders need when trying to run a large organization.

    The spillover from the “resign” letter sent to the work force has decimated morale and Directors are being inundated with questions, request for guidance, the way forward, and Directors don’t know what to tell them, everything being bumped back up the chain to Commanding Generals, who, in turn, are waiting on guidance from the Sec of the Army who is waiting on guidance from the DOD!

    Hard to carry out the mission when, for example, you’re an item manager or depot programs manager trying to figure out whether you’re going to have a job tomorrow. Should I be managing my programs or working on my resume looking for another job?

    There are no answers. Nobody knows!

    I’m sure the MRFF is being inundated with calls trying to get some guidance on how to navigate the most tumultuous time in DOD history and I’m sure our adversaries are loving it!

    The chaos created in one memo to the work force severely impacting military readiness.

    Thank you for your service, your leadership, words, and serving with the MRFF to counter this dystopian chaos.

    Glad to see you’re a reformed libertarian/ Republican!

    Sounds about right when you put people in charge who don’t know anything
