The US militaryTimec.com published a new, revised plan for the withdrawal of US forces from Europe.I must say that the process is already underway, although from the graph below you can see that the reduction in the number of troops from 40 thousand to 30 thousand will occur mainly due to communications workers, the engineering corps, and the military police. Most of the units will be withdrawn from intractable and wayward Germany, the rest from Italy, although the main combat units will be sent there, which are derived from Germany, apparently closer to the promising 21 theater of the century. Let me remind you that it was from Italy that US aircraft carried democracy to Libya.
The 172 infantry brigade - 2013 year (170-I infantry brigade collapsed in 2012 year) will be rolled out of combat units, and 3 bt 58 th aviation regiment will go home to 2015.
It is possible that by reducing the 10 of thousands of military personnel, the Pentagon will be able to slightly reduce its budget, which is required by the effective US sequestration budget.
