Is the Army going to Drawdown its total force with us pulling out of Afghanistan and Iraq?

The future budget is being reduced and we can expect future budgets to continue to decrease. But there is no immediate large scale reduction in the size of the military that has been dictated in the National Defense Authorization Act. The last time we had a major troop reduction it was because we pulled out of Iraq, and we had just had a huge growth in military to support the Iraq Surge. During that time we added another Brigade to every Division in the Army. Then at the end we disbanded those brigades. But we had a massive presence in Iraq, about 180,000 US military over there, mostly Army. Today we are rotating one or two brigades at a time through Iraq and Afghanistan, before we left Afghanistan anyway. We have more Soldiers deployed throughout the rest of the world on rotations
