Air Force Faces Hits to Readiness, New Programs Under Continuing Resolution
Sept. 26, 2024 | By Rachel S. Cohen

The House and Senate passed a continuing resolution Sept. 25 to keep the government funded through Dec. 20, and President Joe Biden signed the bill Sept. 26.

The move means the Department of the Air Force, along with the rest of the Pentagon and the federal government, will start fiscal 2025 with spending levels frozen at the previous year’s marks and be unable to start many new programs.


Air Force and DOD officials frequently bemoan the effects of CRs, yet they have become the norm each year as Congress repeatedly fails to approve appropriations bills on time.

Last week, the Department of the Air Force provided a fact sheet to Air & Space Forces Magazine, detailing the effects of a CR, highlighted by degraded military readiness and slowed delivery of critical equipment.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
