Fort Bliss Operations Continue Amid Partial Government Shutdown

As the federal government faces a partial shutdown, Fort Bliss has provided updates on its operations and services. The installation anticipates minimal disruption, with Child & Youth Services remaining open for active duty and excepted civilian personnel, while non-excepted personnel should seek alternative childcare. The commissary will operate for up to 60 days post-shutdown, and all emergency services will remain fully functional. Other services, including military housing and finance operations, will continue as usual, though some ID and transition services will experience reduced availability. This information is crucial for military families and personnel to navigate the shutdown's effects on their daily lives.

Key Details: • Child Development Centers open for Active Duty and excepted civilians; non-excepted personnel should find alternative childcare. • Commissary services available for up to 60 days after funding lapse. • Emergency services, including law enforcement and fire, remain fully operational. • Reduced services for ID cards and transition services. • All range and airfield operations continue as normal.
