Community Listening Sessions (CLS) will be held by 30 Army installations over the next five months to provide communities with an overview of the Army's process to reduce and reorganize its force structure to achieve the fiscal reductions required by the Budget Control Act of 2011 and to remain in balance with the National Defense Strategy. However, the primary purpose of these CLSs is to obtain input from area leaders and citizens about what Army leadership should consider when making force structure changes. The CLSs will be open to the public, and Fort Knox's will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 6 in the Hardin County Schools Performing Arts Center in Elizabethtown (...special thanks to HCS Superintendent Nannette Johnston for allowing the Army to use this wonderful facility). Please mark your calendars and forward this message to anyone whom you believe may wish to attend. I look forward to seeing you on Jan. 6. Best Regards, Colonel T.J. Edwards Fort Knox garrison commander
