Army Shrinks Forces to Meet New Economy Demands
The Army trims its force structure to satisfy Defense Secretary Wilson economy orders. It will replace one 15,000-man armored division with a 5,000-man armored combat team and abolish 14 Air Defense installations and five aviation construction battalions. Cuts could close posts and shift manpower to administrative, logistical and special activity roles. The move aligns with a 100,000-man reduction target by next June 30 and a broader 200,000-man reduction across the armed forces.
