Pentagon Plans Up To Six Thousand Two Hundred Officer Cuts
The Defense Department begins planning to reduce active-duty officers by as many as 6,200 over the next year amid congressional pressure to rebalance the enlisted to officer ratio. Assistant Secretary Chapman Cox notes both houses favor officer reductions but differ on timing. The four services currently maintain a 5.9 to 1 enlisted to officer ratio, the lowest in a decade, with officers making up about 14.4 percent of the active force at end of 1985. House and Senate plans differ yet both aim for sizable cuts starting in fiscal 1987, potentially trimming about 26,000 officers over four years under one proposal.
