US Army Considers Cutting 90,000 Troops Amid Strategic Shift, Military Portal Reports
"A move that underscores mounting fiscal pressures at the Pentagon and a broader shift in military strategy away from Europe and counterterrorism," an American portal reported, citing unnamed military officials.
It's unclear whether the reforms will affect Reserve or National Guard personnel; however, discussions of reducing the US Army from its current 450,000 troops are still underway.
As the portal explains, military strategists intend to turn the US ground forces into a "more agile, specialized instrument better suited for future conflicts."
Earlier, US media reported that the Pentagon was exploring significant cuts at the top level of the US military command, as well as merging US European Command with Africa Command and combining US Northern Command and US Southern Command into one entity.
