Pentagon Proposes Troop Reductions in Germany
The Pentagon has put forward a plan to withdraw two Army divisions from Germany and make other changes in its European forces in a sweeping global realignment of the U.S. military, The New York Times reported on Friday.
The aim is to give the U.S. military greater flexibility in sending forces to the Middle East, Central Asia and other potential battlegrounds, the newspaper said, citing Pentagon policymakers.
Some experts and allied officials are concerned the shift would reduce Washington’s influence in NATO and weaken diplomatic links with its allies, the Times said.
