Nation to Cut Overseas Deployments and Military Size
Washington reports the Kennedy administration plans a broad defense shrinkage over the next two years. A manpower cut of about 60,000, possible removal of one South Korea Army division, Europe support cuts, fewer Navy carriers, and faster scrapping of B47 units are under consideration. Nuclear production cuts by the Atomic Energy Commission could save about $1 billion annually without harming combat strength. Budget timing hinges on January’s budget submission.
