SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 — 180 LAYOFFS
Texarkana, Texas-based Red River Army Depot, a U.S. Army maintenance facility to repair, rebuild, overhaul, customize, and converts the Army's vehicular systems, has announced a reduction in force that will impact 92 contract personnel and 88 government term employees scheduled for layoff in October 2021.
The decision was driven by the Army's declining workload and the projected reduction in other vehicular systems.
According to Red River Army Depot Commander Colonel John Kred, “The ebb and flow of our contractor and term workforce enables Red River Army Depot to surge to mission requirements when necessary. The labor contract allows Red River to meet its modernization and sustainment goals while maintaining fiscal responsibility to our taxpayers. Red River is posturing itself for the future and work toward modernization in support of the Army’s future needs.”
