The most recent appropriations for the Department of War expired at 11:59 p.m. EST on September 30, 2025. Military personnel will continue in a normal duty status without pay until such time as a continuing resolution or appropriations are passed by Congress and signed into law. Civilian personnel not engaged in excepted activities will be placed in a non-work, non-pay status.

🪖🇺🇸 This weekend, members of the 196th MPAD and JFHQ participated in the National Fallen Firefighters 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at Fortress Obetz.

We honored each of the 343 FDNY firefighters who gave their lives on September 11, 2001—climbing the equivalent of 110 stories of the World Trade Center in their memory.

Thank you to Small Town Photography LLC 📸 for capturing this powerful event.

Great job, team! 👏
