The U.S. Department of Defence (DoD) is considering a Troop Reduction of nearly 90,000 Active-Duty Soldiers, from the Army, due to mounting Financial Pressure. Internal Discussions are exploring Reducing the Force size to between 3,60,000 and 4,20,000 Personnel, down from the current strength of roughly 4,50,000 Personnel. It is unclear whether the Discussions concern the Army Reserve or the National Guard.
According to the Report, the discussion comes as the U.S. Footprint Shrinks in the Middle East and Africa, while seeking to Expand its Presence across the Indo-Pacific to counter Beijing's Rise.
Following the DOGE-led Crackdown on Federal Government Expenditures to cut “Waste”, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth (R) directed the Pentagon to formulate Plans to Cut its near-Trillion-dollar Budget by 8%. The Trump (R) Administration is also Cracking Down on “Woke” Policies and Gender-Sensitive Programs within the Armed Forces.
At least Six U.S. Federal Government Agencies are offering their Employees a New “Deferred Resignation” Opportunity, even as the Trump Administration began Implementing a Mass Layoff Program, led by Elon Musk's DOGE.
In a Brief Memo, Hegseth had Offered a “Voluntary Early Retirement” Offer to the Employees, but Warned that “Exemptions should be Rare.” A Senior Defence Official said that roughly 50,000 to 60,000 Civilian Jobs would be Cut, to reach the Goal of a 5% to 8% Cut in the Pentagon's Workforce.
