Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs (DMA) will operate on a limited basis on Friday, May 28 as state employees take one of 16 furlough days required for all state workers over the next two years. DMA will resume regular business hours on Tuesday, June 1, following Memorial Day.
The Department of Military Affairs (DMA) includes Joint Force Headquarters-Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Army National Guard, the Wisconsin Air National Guard, and the Wisconsin Division of Emergency Management (WEM). The furlough primarily affects DMA employees at JFHQ, 2400 Wright St. in Madison.
Wisconsin National Guard federal employees are not affected by this furlough requirement. Brig. Gen. Don Dunbar, the adjutant general of Wisconsin, said plans are in place to mitigate the impact of the furlough requirements. For example, the Wisconsin National Guard's Joint Operations Center (JOC) and the 24-Hour Emergency Management Duty Officer System will remain fully operational.
Acting WEM Administrator, Scott Legwold, has ensured that if a disaster or emergency should occur on May 28, there are staff available to respond to the scene and to work in the state Emergency Operations Center.
