from the article: "All major branches are arguably also facing real problems trying to adapt and update institutionalized twenthieth-century thinking to experiences from twenty-first century battlefields (though the Marine Corps is at least undergoing a serious and controversial restructuring in an attempt to alleviate this)."

We're hearing seemingly conflicting reports on this.
On the one hand, it's said there will be a massive increase in US Navy shipbuilding capacity, necessary to increase the fleet to 350 ships.
On the other hand, it appears there will be significant across-the-board downsizing and DOGE-sizing.
It's said that national defense spending will go from 3.3% of GDP down to 3% of GDP.

Will all the reductions be only in "waste, fraud & abuse"?

We'll see.

Who says that ?

Hegseth’s leaked memo list 17 protected categories. And a “350 ship” navy is not on it. “Executable” is not a 350 ship navy. They don’t currently have the shipyard capacity to properly maintain what they have.
