"US Army Overhauls Force Structure, Cuts Thousands of Jobs in Preparation for Future Wars"

The US Army is reducing its force by about 24,000 positions, mainly in already-empty posts, and restructuring to focus on large-scale combat operations against more sophisticated enemies. The plan includes adding 7,500 troops in critical missions such as air-defense and cyber capabilities. This overhaul comes as the Army faces recruiting challenges and aims to address the shift from counterinsurgency missions to great power competition.
