That must be some other part of SOF, because in Army SOF, they are looking at cutting budgets, letting contractors go, and eliminating a significant percentage of the civilian employees. We currently have a hiring freeze and most departing civilians are not replaced.
My understanding was that USSOCOM was also making a number of cuts in personnel and programs.
Hmm.
