More than two weeks after Army officials announced they would move within a month some 1,200 soldiers from the moldy barracks at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, deemed unlivable by senior officials, base officials won't say how many have been moved, when all troops will have vacated the buildings, roughly how many will remain in barracks on base versus moving off post, how the service plans to help those moving off base find apartments in a tight housing market, and many other basic questions.

For now, most soldiers are still in the Smoke Bomb Hill barracks, housing that has been plagued for years by issues long known to Army leadership, unsure of where they'll end up living. The sudden evacuation was spurred only after an inspection from Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston last month and an order from Gen. Edward Daly, who oversees the management of Army installations.
