The US Air Force has suspended personnel moves and bonuses through the end of the fiscal year as the service faces a funding shortfall driven by higher-than-expected costs, according to a statement from the service Monday.
The Air Force said it needed to take these steps now “to avoid exhausting funds” dedicated to personnel.
The suspensions could affect tens of thousands of service members, according to an Air Force official, though it’s unclear how large the shortfall is. The personnel moves are expected to start up again in the new fiscal year beginning on October 1, the official said.
