The most recent appropriations for the Department of War expired at 11:59 p.m. EST on September 30, 2025. Military personnel will continue in a normal duty status without pay until such time as a continuing resolution or appropriations are passed by Congress and signed into law. Civilian personnel not engaged in excepted activities will be placed in a non-work, non-pay status.

Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center is open, and we’re continuing to schedule appointments and procedures. We know that your health is important every day, even during a shutdown, and we’re taking steps to ensure your care continues without interruption.
