Rep. Mike Waltz , a retired U.S. Army Green Beret and chairman of the subcommittee on readiness, said he was"stunned and appalled" over reports the Department of Defense is considering making cuts to the Army's special operations forces.
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth acknowledged this week that"there's some room to make some very modest targeted reductions there" because “the Army is in a moment of transformation where we are really pivoting from [counterinsurgency] and [counterterrorism] to large-scale combat operations: So, we’ve got to transform our force structure,” according to Breaking Defense.
“I am stunned and appalled by reports indicating the U.S. Army will cut 3,000 troops from its special operations ranks as a means to manage their worst recruiting crisis since the Vietnam War," Waltz said in a statement on Thursday."The Secretary of the Army is trying to claim she’s only cutting support troops like intelligence analysts, psychological operations troops, and logistics personnel.
