Subject: FW: IMA Directors NETCALL # 30 -- FY04 Budget Update to NETCALL #
27: Actions Required for Remainder of FY04 (UNCLASSIFIED)

Importance: High 


Classification: UNCLASSIFIED 
Caveats: NONE 

Garrison Commanders, 

This NETCALL provides update to budget cutback provisions that you
received via NETCALL # 27.  I appreciate your response and feedback from
NETCALL # 27, sent to you on 11 May 04, and revised on 18 May 04 to
clarify our guidance on Environmental and Training Enabler programs.  As
result of your candid assessments and our ongoing work with the Army
Budget Office, we have been afforded limited funding relief for some
critical areas of concern.  We will be able to restore funding to
reverse previous direction to cut back or defer as follows:

1. Environmental:  Proceed with all previously planned activities within
your annual funded program; do not reduce or defer environmental
projects as called for in NETCALL #27 (amended).

2. Force Protection:  Proceed with all programs as funded prior to
NETCALL # 27; there will be no degradation or deferral of force
protection programs.

3. Student Employment/Summer Hire program:  IMA will retain its summer
hire program; execute as planned prior to NETCALL # 27.

4. Temporary Employees:  Cease actions to release temporary hires in FY04.

The remainder of actions outlined in NETCALL # 27 remain in effect. We
must continue to take all prudent actions to reduce and/or defer
obligations to live within funding provided from the Department and
support the GWOT.  The final statement in NETCALL # 27 remains
operative, "I assure you, the IMA leadership will keep the Department
advised of our funding status and continue to seek additional funding
support as we work toward FY04 year-end."

We are working this day-to-day, engaged in cooperative and productive
dialogue with the Department.  I will keep you apprised as things
progress.  Thanks for your continued support and outstanding service to
our Soldiers, their families and our Nation.  AA
