Pentagon to cut headquarters costs by 40 billion
Former Air Force Secretary Michael Donley will lead a Pentagon review to trim the Office of the Secretary of Defense structure, aiming to cut headquarters spending by about 40 billion through fiscal year 2023. Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said findings are due by September, with a focus on realigning OSD structure to meet new fiscal realities and security threats. Donley, retired in June after nearly five years as Air Force head, will supervise a small team and external experts to reduce civilian and contractor staff and report direct-cut plans to Defense Secretary Hagel.
