U.S. Army plans more cuts, report says | News – Home

The United States Southern Command has been grappling with the cumulative effect of budget cuts enacted over the past few years.

Previous cuts in troops, ships, planes, Coast Guard cutters and other services have weakened operations, Gen. John F. Kelly said in a statement to Congress in March.
At Southern Command’s headquarters in Miami-Dade County’s Doral neighborhood, “we have implemented a 13 percent reduction in civilian billets and an 11 percent reduction in military ones,”Kelly said.
