Army to cut 40,000 troops across bases amid budget squeeze
The Army announced a plan to shrink the active-duty force from 490,000 to 450,000 over two years, with six domestic bases losing 1,200 soldiers or more. Fort Benning, Elmendorf-Richardson, Fort Hood, Fort Bliss, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and Schofield Barracks face major reductions as civilian staff also shrink by up to 17,000. The Army projects $7 billion in four-year savings but faces political backlash from lawmakers in affected states.
