The Army plans to cut 80,000 soldiers over the next decade. Meanwhile, it will increase its fleet of armed drones by 30% and deploy more special-ops teams like SEAL Team Six. It is not yet known how the Army will decide which soldiers get pink slips. Special operations units will not be cut and the Army will try to avoid cutting mid-level officers with the rank of major or higher. Supporters of a smaller Army think 490,000 troops can handle any potential threat.
