Editorial: peace dividend threats to Ottawa unit
The Pentagon plans to eliminate Army National Guard units including Ottawa's 1st Battalion, 127th Field Artillery. The move would cost 16 full-time staff and ripple through local payroll, goods purchases, and community service. Ottawa Chamber cites economic impact and urges Congress to protect guard and reserve units amid broader defense spending cuts. Jim Hitch argues hits will happen but should target efficiency rather than local communities.
