The Defense Finance and Accounting Service says it is closely monitoring contingency procedures implemented by banks and credit unions to ensure that electronic deposits for military and defense civilians in the Hurricane Katrina impact areas get their money. Mail delivery is another matter. Direct deposit folks should check with their banks, or, if they cannot get their money and need some, with the nearest defense finance office. DFAS says USPS should be announcing central pickup points.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
