The U.S. Army is planning to decrease the number of military museums by nearly two-thirds by 2029, going from 41 to only 12. This decision, announced by the U.S. Army Center of Military History, stems from a significant backlog of maintenance and a lack of qualified staffing. The Army requires specific expertise to maintain and operate museums effectively, and the current workforce is not meeting these needs, prompting concerns about the quality of the museum experience for visitors.
By the end of this decade, the U.S. Army plans to reduce the number of museums from 41 to 12, citing maintenance and staffing issues.
James Vizzard emphasized the challenges of operating military museums, stating, 'You need to have exhibit technicians and educators...' to ensure a quality experience.
