<h1>Military Streamlines Operations: Strategic Restructuring Cuts 1,000 Staff Positions to Modernize Defense Capabilities and Reduce Spending</h1> A defense official ordered Army restructuring to create a leaner military force by merging commands, cutting up to 1,000 headquarters staff, and eliminating outdated equipment. The transformation aims to reduce spending while shifting personnel to field units and prioritizing advanced defense capabilities. The plan involves consolidating multiple commands and potentially cutting 40 general officer positions, though overall Army size would remain unchanged. Congressional approval remains uncertain due to potential local economic impacts.
