The Army aims to bring about 15 000 highly trained enlisted men back from Europe to bolster U S combat strength at home. Europe’s total Army strength would drop to about 210 000 midyear and rise to roughly 225 000 by year end. Returning soldiers will help form units and train draftees, with 24 month tours possibly cut to 21 months. Officials say combat readiness in Europe will be minimally affected and large units will not be withdrawn.
