In 2013, Team Hill, along with the Department of Defense, faced several challenges related to fiscal concerns. Sequestration brought furloughs for civilian workers, and a government shutdown resulted when agreement could not be reached in time in Congress at the beginning of the government fiscal year.
Possibility of civilian furloughs confirmed
Confirmation of furloughs came March 11 when the Department of Defense’s Comptroller Robert F. Hale announced they were coming and discussed the furlough planning process with a Pentagon audience.
