WAYNE COUNTY, N.C. — The upcoming State of the Military event, originally scheduled for Thursday, October 23rd, has been postponed due to a lapse in appropriations, organizers announced.

The postponement comes as federal funding issues impact military operations and related events. Officials indicated that the scheduling conflict stems directly from the current appropriations lapse affecting military planning and logistics.

Event organizers emphasized their commitment to rescheduling the address in the near future. “We are working diligently to reschedule this event,” officials stated in the announcement, thanking stakeholders for their understanding during the delay.

The State of the Military event traditionally provides military leadership an opportunity to address key issues, priorities, and strategic initiatives facing the armed forces. No specific alternate date has been announced at this time.

Further details regarding the rescheduled event are expected to be released once appropriations issues are resolved and a new date is confirmed.
