OMFG!!!!! The Army will eliminate at least 12 combat brigades, relocate thousands of soldiers and cancel $400 million in construction projects as the first wave of federal budget cuts takes aim at military communities around the country. In a massive restructuring, Army leaders said Tuesday that they will slash the number of active duty combat brigades from 45 to 33, as the service moves forward with a longtime plan to cut the size of the service by 80,000. And they warned that more cuts – of as many as 100,000 more active duty, National Guard and Reserve soldiers – could be coming if Congress allows billions of dollars in automatic budget cuts to continue next year.
