Information was not available at press time whether Army Garrison Wiesbaden or Fort Knox had requested approval, or whether they knew about their ability to request approval for hiring to fill child care vacancies.\u00a0 <br\/> <br\/>These requests still are required, but commanders have flexibility in the meantime, said Scott Malcom, spokesman for Army Installation Command. &#8220;That process is ongoing. While it does, commanders may employ a variety of tactics such as overtime pay, flex time or re-allocating current staffing to sustain higher priority programs (as determined at the local level), to mitigate concerns at [child development centers].&#8221;\u00a0 <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael said earlier Wednesday that DoD was aware that bases including Fort Knox and Wiesbaden had announced child care cuts, and that officials were &#8220;working through the chain of command with these installations to ensure that they are taking advantage of the ability to seek exemptions.&#8221; <br\/> <br\/>The other services reported no known impact to child care, but are monitoring the effects.  <br\/> <br\/>The Navy has requested exemptions for 1,840 child and youth program positions across its 134 centers, said Fred Henney, spokesman for Navy Installations Command. &#8220;All regions are currently meeting Navy requirements,&#8221; he said. <br\/> <br\/> <i>Karen Jowers covers military families, quality of life and consumer issues for Military Times.
