I thought the proposed Army strength would go down to 450K, not 250K.

420K was a lowball figure thrown out. Still too low. The ratio is something like 8 support troops for every one in the field. Don’t know much about the Army but in the AF on a typical base only about 1/4 of the populace is involved in aviation activities. This is on the bases with an aviation component.
