Given Augusta's connection to Fort Gordon, many employees are either military service members, reservists, or work for federal defense contractors. We evaluate claims under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) for military discrimination and reemployment issues. Additionally, we assess retaliation claims under the Defense Contractor Whistleblower Protection Act (10 U.S.C. § 2409) for those reporting waste, fraud, or abuse in federal contracting.
