The Army will scrap 1,000 jobs after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered it to undergo a “comprehensive transformation” that will see it divest from “outdated” and “redundant” programs and downsize or close some headquarters, according to an April 30 memo.
Hegseth wrote in the memo that the plans are aimed at building a leaner and more lethal force that prioritizes defending the United States and deterring China in the Indo-Pacific.
