Here come the defense budget cuts... Military base plans layoffs for 50 civilians adn.com Some 50 civilian workers will lose their jobs at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and more reductions could come soon in cost-saving moves directed by the Pentagon in a time of budget cuts. Plans to add about 200 positions at the Anchorage base are being dropped as well, the Air Force said. ***** The layoffs at the Anchorage base are part of an Air Force plan to cut 9,000 civilian positions in management, staff and support at several bases nationwide. After growing rapidly for a decade, the Pentagon budget is headed for substantial reductions. The Obama administration is committed to cuts of between $450 billion and $465 billion over the next 12 years and cuts approximately double that size could be imposed depending on the outcome of congressional budget negotiations.
