Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has revealed the results a four-month Strategic Choices and Management Review, He said the Pentagon would cut overhead by almost $40 billion more over the next decade, and was looking at $50 billion in savings from compensation. He said the review also pointed to possible reductions of up to 70,000 troops from the U.S. Army’s active force, and up to 65,000 from the Army reserves.
