The Department of Defense released a memo on May 22 directing military departments to submit proposals within 120 days to cut permanent change of station moves by 50% by fiscal year 2030, starting with a 10% reduction next fiscal year.
Local officials and economists expect the phased cuts may boost Colorado Springs' stability by easing frequent moves that strain housing and employment for military families—efforts aimed at saving $5 billion annually.
