MWEs include horses, mules, and donkeys owned by the Department of Defense and housed on Army installations.
Starting in July 2025, the Army will sunset ownership, operation and materiel support of MWE programs at Fort Irwin, California; Fort Huachuca, Arizona; Fort Riley, Kansas; Fort Sill, Oklahoma; and Fort Hood, Texas. However, MWE programs will continue with The Old Guard caisson units at the Military District of Washington and Joint Base San Antonio, Texas.
Concentrating the MWE program with The Old Guard will allow the Army to achieve significant cost savings while retaining the program for national ceremonial duties.
EXCERPT
Short-sighted and stupid.
