Army Takes A Chainsaw To 24,000 Positions In Response To Recruitment Shortfalls
[Daily Caller] The Army is cutting thousands of empty positions as the ongoing recruiting crisis has robbed the service of enough people to fill those roles, according to an Army document published Tuesday.After a "rigorous" year-long review of the Army’s existing force structure, service officials determined the number and purpose of positions comprising the force did not match up with the changing security environment, the white paper stated. Officials justified cutting 24,000 roles that have been left empty as the Army deals with its worst-ever recruiting crisis as helping ensure the service only plans to assign and deploy the people it has available, cutting down on strain and allowing for more realistic planning. The Army is "over-structured, meaning there are not enough soldiers to fill out existing units and organizations," the document stated. It emphasized the cuts are coming to "authorizations (spaces)" not "individual soldiers (faces)." Posted by: Besoeker 2024-02-28 |
