Army Anounces Proposed Cuts

The US Army is looking to cut combat brigades to 32 from 45 albeit larger units. Manpower cuts of 80,000 or 14% would leave the active Army at 490,000 soldiers, roughly 70,000 points of spears instead of 81,400. A loss of roughly two bigger BCTs of warriors. Marine cuts still need to be announced.

Europe is losing 2 BCTs in Germany after 67 years of occupation/facing off against the Russians. This is a reduction of 67% and will have a significant impact on the German economy. Roughly 6000 US soldiers won't be spending Euros on bread and beer in Germany anymore.
