National security contractor CACI has filed a WARN notice saying it will lay off 75 workers at Naval Support Activity Mid-South in Millington, putting a slice of the base's contractor workforce on alert. The filing, submitted to state labor officials on Tuesday, lists separations beginning Aug. 1, and local civilian and contractor staff are now watching as state rapid-response teams and the company coordinate what comes next.
What the WARN notice says
As reported by FOX13 Memphis, the WARN filing lists up to 75 positions to be cut at the Millington installation, with Aug. 1 named as the effective separation date. The notice itself does not give a public reason for the reductions, according to the filing. CACI submitted the WARN to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, which uses such notices to trigger dislocation services for affected employees.
What CACI does at NSA Mid-South
According to CACI, the company provides technology, intelligence, and engineering services to the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, work that frequently places cleared contractors inside military personnel and support offices. Public contract records and company materials show CACI performing personnel-support and IT work tied to naval personnel and administrative systems based in Millington. That embedded role helps explain why a workforce cut at CACI can reach straight into day-to-day operations at the installation.
Why the cuts matter locally
The Naval Support Activity Mid-South installation serves as the Navy's human-resources center of excellence and hosts thousands of military, civilian, and contract personnel, according to the base's official site. The installation lists more than 6,500 personnel assigned or working on site, so contractor reductions of this size can ripple through scheduling, processing, and local support services. Tennessee has already recorded dozens of WARN filings this year, with more than 4,000 workers affected statewide through late May, which puts the CACI notice in the middle of broader workforce shifts.
Support for affected employees
When employers file WARN notices in Tennessee, the state's Dislocated Worker Unit and local workforce boards coordinate rapid-response assistance, from benefits counseling to reemployment services and training referrals, in line with state guidance. Employers that meet WARN thresholds generally must provide advance notice so displaced workers can tap those resources, and the CACI filing is expected to set that support machinery in motion. Local workforce partners in the Greater Memphis area typically work with the state to connect affected employees to job-search and training programs as the situation develops.
The FOX13 Memphis report and the WARN filing are the first public details available. This story will be updated if CACI, Navy officials, or state labor representatives release more information about which job classifications are affected or which support services will be offered.
