The document provides an overview of mandatory federal spending programs that account for the majority of the federal budget and discusses how budget cuts from sequestration, continuing resolutions, and debt ceiling issues are reducing budgets across Fort Riley, including a 32% cut to the 1st Infantry Division's budget, a 35% cut to the Garrison's budget, and 5-40% cuts to installation partners' budgets. The effects of these cuts include hiring freezes, release of temporary employees, reduction of support contracts, and possible furloughs of Department of the Army Civilians.
