Military.com wrote about plans for possible cuts. The question is to reduce the number of U.S. (US Army) active troops from the current 450,000 soldiers to 360 to 420,000 soldiers, i.e. in the utmost variant by 1 fifth. This solution is postulated due to the fact that heavy, manoeuvrable formations of land troops are considered little useful in the Indo-Pacific theatre, and this administration wants to prioritise. U.S. Secretary of defence Pete Hegseth had previously recommended that the Pentagon [found 8% of the budget for ‘new priorities’](https://defence24.pl/defence-policy/hegseth-in-tit-expenditure-largest-cutt-in-pentagon-from-a few-years) and that land troops may become a victim of cuts by assuming the United States' focus on defending the Pacific area and the American continent.
