Toward a Leaner, More Agile Force: The Army in a Time of Fiscal Austerity
Abstract
This article considers some of the strategies proposed by civilian leaders in the defense sector, then seeks to answer the questions of how the draw-down will effect readiness and the challenges reduced manning will place upon the Noncommissioned Officers and junior enlisted Soldiers serving during this time of tightened purse strings. The author hopes to make the readers aware of the importance of good fiscal stewardship while stressing that the agile, all volunteer army is fully capable of overcoming these challenges.
