Agency and division leadership have been working with the Contingency Planning Team since the days immediately after the mandate’s announcement. As the agency moves through the next several days, leaders will gauge the immediate actual impact for short-term mitigation. In that time, the agency will move resources where necessary and specific personnel losses demand adjustment. On the civilian side, the agency will make similar adjustments and look to fill vacancies with the best candidates possible as soon as possible.
