John Healy\u2019s comments on the potential effects of a continuing resolution.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. \u2014 A government shutdown would prove \u201cmiserable\u201d for the Air Force Reserve, its three-star boss told reporters here Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lt. Gen. John Healy warned that a congressional failure to pass a fiscal 2024 budget could derail reserve operations. The looming uncertainty in the interim could dissuade reservists from joining upcoming missions and drills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s miserable for us,\u201d Healy said at the Air and Space Forces Association\u2019s annual Air, Space and Cyber Conference. \u201cWe\u2019re prepping right now for the hopefully unfortunate and hopefully avoidable likelihood that there\u2019s a shutdown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2023\/09\/11\/military-budget-bills-set-to-move-ahead-but-shutdown-threat-looms\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18018052123864.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Military budget bills set to move ahead, but shutdown threat looms<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Defense and veterans hearings on Capitol Hill for the week of Sept. 11, 2023.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House and Senate leaders remain far apart on plans to extend the current government budget past Sept. 30, its deadline to authorize annual funding for the federal government\u2019s 438 agencies \u2014 including the armed forces. Failure to do so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/mil-money\/2023\/09\/07\/military-pay-could-be-a-casualty-of-looming-government-shutdown\/\">could halt<\/a> paychecks for military personnel unless lawmakers pass a separate bill extending compensation for service members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Active duty personnel will still have to man their posts without pay even if no such extension is approved. Reservists, meanwhile, risk being furloughed en masse if no new spending bills pass both chambers of Congress before Oct. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A three-day shutdown in 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2018\/01\/23\/more-than-170000-guard-reserve-troops-continue-to-be-affected-by-shutdown\/\">upended<\/a> training plans and scheduled paydays for around 170,000 Guardsmen and reservists across the Army and the Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI stopped signing up for October,\u201d Healy said of his old drill-registration habits. \u201cI think I was a colonel before I finally figured it out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Healy noted that a stopgap measure to temporarily fund the government \u2014 a continuing resolution \u2014 can sow uncertainty among airmen about whether they will get paid or should show up for drills. The Reserve stressed that work would continue as usual under a CR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201dIt\u2019s unfortunate that reservists are now culturally expecting a CR,\u201d Healy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A shutdown that stops funding altogether would hurt the force more deeply, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reserve commanders are prepping alternative training schedules to minimize the disruption of a shutdown, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf need be, we\u2019ll modify the dates based on if it\u2019s a short shutdown,\u201d he said. \u201cHopefully, each unit will be able to modify and avoid the shutdown affecting our required operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Military Times Deputy Editor Leo Shane III contributed to this story.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A government shutdown would upend drills and scheduled paydays for thousands of reservists, Air Force Reserve boss Lt.
