While I hate to see Ft Stewart lose troops, I'm glad the cuts aren't as bad as originally proposed....
Quote:
The Pentagon Wednesday announced its intention to cut 950 troops at Fort Stewart in Hinesville as part of the Department of Defense’s plans to reduce the Army nationwide by 40,000 soldiers within the next two years.

Fort Stewart is one of two Georgia bases affected in what many expect will be the first wave of troop cuts. Fort Benning in Columbus will see a loss of 3,400 soldiers.

U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., learned of the reductions Wednesday in a phone call with Secretary of the Army John McHugh. The Department of Defense plans to reduce the Army nationwide from the current level of 490,000 to 450,000 by the end of 2017.

No details were known on the specific units affected.
