WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Senator Susan Collins today announced that DFAS Limestone will begin assuming the Air Force workload from DFAS Europe beginning in October of this year.
"This transfer of work is positive news and will help maintain a steady workload for the men and women at DFAS Limestone," Senator Collins said. "The Department of Defense should continue to examine the feasibility and cost effectiveness of consolidating operations at facilities overseas and bringing that work to existing facilities here in the United States."
As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Collins attached legislative report language to the FY 2013 National Defense Authorization Act that instructed the Department of Defense to evaluate the feasibility and cost-savings that may be realized by closing overseas facilities and consolidating operations of defense agencies, including the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, to existing facilities and installations within the United States.
