Due to massive shortages in recruitment drives, the U.S. Army will have to reduce its size by 24,000 soldiers. The army stated, “While making these investments and adding formations, the Army must also reduce force structure to protect readiness in light of decreased end strength. The Army is currently significantly over-structured, meaning there are not enough soldiers to fill out existing units and organizations.”
Of the 24,000 troop reductions, 10,000 will come from counter-insurgency operations. Meanwhile, no plans have been announced to reduce the number of DEI (Destroy Every Individual, or Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) officers hired since the Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee took office.
24,000 US Army positions cut amid recruitment woes – americanmilitarynews.com
Excerpt:
The United States Army is reducing the size of its force by roughly 24,000 troops as the military service continues to struggle to meet recruitment goals.
According to a new document on the structural transformation of the U.S. Army, the decrease in the size of military service is intended to position the Army to be better equipped to fight future wars. While the document outlined multiple ways the Army is planning to invest in a restructuring of the force, it claimed that force reductions were necessary.
“While making these investments and adding formations, the Army must also reduce force
structure to protect readiness in light of decreased end strength,” the Army stated. “The Army is currently significantly over-structured, meaning there are not enough soldiers to fill out existing units and
organizations.”
Fox News reported that a considerable portion of the jobs that will be eliminated by the Army were counter-insurgency positions that increased during the Iraq War and Afghanistan War. The Army noted that most of the positions are already empty and that the Army “is not asking current soldiers to leave.”
The Army added, “As the Army builds back end strength over the next few years, most installations will likely see an increase in the number of soldiers actually stationed there.”
