Shift the fiscal reality and deal with the issue last summer, which are considered to be in the United States, its liabilities set forth in the doctrine of Mr. Panetta is expected to outline the plans for the armed forces by reducing the amount of care — and in doing so, to make clear that the Pentagon does not maintain the ability to fight two wars at the same time to be a good.
Instead, he said that the army be large enough to fight and win the one major conflict at the same time also have the opportunity to "ruin" the second part of the second enemy, while at the same time in the world with the intentions of the other smaller operations, such as for providing disaster relief or n: o the number of compliance with the air traffic control zone.
Pentagon officials have in the meantime, the final discussions about possible cuts almost every important area of military expenditure: the nuclear arsenal, to combat aircraft, warships, and salaries and pension and benefits. To end the war in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, Mr. Panetta is weighing how to significantly reduce the American ground forces.
There is broad agreement in left, right and center of the 450 billion dollars of that of the more than a decade — an amount that the White House and the Pentagon agreed last summer — is acceptable. That is about 8% of the Pentagon base budget. But there is a strong debate about $ 500 billion in cuts, which may have to be done, if Congress follows the deeper reductions.
Mr. Panetta and defense Hawks say, discount, $ 1 trillion, approximately 17% of the Pentagon base budget would be Cataclysmic in the field of national security. Democrats and a few Republicans to say that it would be painful, but manageable; They Add that the cold war and Korea, and Viet Nam after the war was more pronounced the military cuts.
Gordon Adams, who oversaw the military budgets to the Clinton White House and is now in the public interest research group in Washington to fellow Stimson Center "even a trillion dollars, where this is shallower build down than any of the last three weeks we have done," said. Most of the armed forces would still be "world. We should ask ourselves involved in Racing. "
Many of which are more concerned about the cuts, including Mr. Panetta accepts that the Pentagon personnel costs are unsustainable and generous retirement benefits may be back to Save a crucial weapons programs to scale.
"If we do not allow the current trend will continue," said Arnold l. Punaro, consultant, the Pentagon Advisory Group, the Defense Business Board, which changes have been inserted into a military pension system, "we are going to turn the benefits for the company, which kills some of the Ministry of defence in the terrorist attack."
Mr. Panetta will outline the guiding principles in his Kuroakseen plans news conference this week with the strategy and special cuts — now, the Pentagon has drawn up some 260 billion dollars of cuts over the next five years — the President's annual budget in accordance with the procedure set out at the Congress, where they discussed, and almost certainly in detail before approval is hereby amended as follows:. Although the proposals seem to budget cuts, more than a decade, in the future, the President proposes spending plan as an alternative to the Congress.
Within the scope of decisions looming cuts forces inevitably and in the future, the American army. If, say, the Pentagon save 7 billion dollars over a decade by reducing the number of aircraft carriers, there should be sufficient to force 10 to 11 in order to combat the increasingly bold Chinese Pacific? If the Pentagon saves over the next ten years, nearly 150 billion dollars by reducing the size of the army, said, sets of America manufactured for grinding, 483,000 Asia war from the ground long, 570,000?
Save more than 100 billion dollars what about reductions in the number of working-age for military retirees health care? That would break a promise to those who may in her country?
Calculations to leave Iraq and Afghanistan, which will move to the next, the cost of the wars of the Decade. After the war and the potential $ 1 trillion of that of the next decade down the winding, the Pentagon the annual budget, now 530 billion dollars, reduce the 472 billion dollars in 2013, or about the size of the budget in 2007.
