159 CAB Deactivating?

SSG Andrew Dydasco — Sun, 02 Nov 2014 05:01:33 -0500

I'm on assignment to 159 CAB at Ft. Campbell but I hear it is deactivating and Soldiers who are supposed to go there are being filtered to other units. Can anyone confirm this?

Try contacting your branch manager or 159 CAB and see what info they can give you.

Fort Campbell will lose 2,400 soldiers as a result of the deactivation.

Deactivation does not occur overnight...see your servicing Career Counselor for guidance/effects on Soldiers assigned to deactivating units.

There is a lot of involved as SGM Quick stated. There are some great responses on here as well and good guidance. HRC will have some answers as well but your servicing Career Counselor will most likely have the best and most up to date information for you. They have the more tools available to assist you as far as strengths/weakness of PMOS at location if you are desiring to stay or go. As a former Career Counselor I have been involved in both the activation and deactivation of a unit. Have plenty of patience with your leaders/command/unit/ and Career Counselor as you can imagine the difficulty of the big picture. Good luck and always seek out the local subject matter expert.
