Army Chief Lays Out Cuts in Europe
The general who leads the U.S. says the Pentagon will take two heavy armor brigades out of Europe in 2013 and 2014 and eliminate them.
Gen. Raymond Odierno says the military is working hard to mitigate the impact on European allies and will rotate other Army units into the region to train with NATO partners.
The units will be eliminated, rather than moved back to the United States. Odierno says removing two of four brigades now in Europe will not necessarily make NATO allies shoulder more of the load if ground forces are needed for a large-scale operation in the region.
The units to be dismantled are based in Germany — the 172nd Infantry Brigade, currently in Grafenwoehr, and the 170th Infantry Brigade in Baumholder. (Source: Washington Times, Associated Press)
As the Lord leads, please pray:
For the officials in the Pentagon as they work on decreasing the federal spending on defense.
For military morale as they face force reduction.
For the families of military personnel in Europe who have homes and are raising families there.
