Army May Cut Nearly A Quarter Of Brigade Combat Teams To Meet Obama Budget Cut Demands
Tweet
The Army may cut 10 of its 45 active-duty brigade combat teams as it works to meet President Obama’s order to slice defense spending, said an Army official familiar with the budget deliberations.
This is one of many proposals being considered as the Army goes through a series of budget drills before the Defense Department delivers a plan in October to cut its budget by at least $400 billion.
Service leaders are still discussing how many Stryker, heavy or infantry BCTs might get cut and when.
