Army continues to expand contracting workforce
Army leaders testified before the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan at a Sept. 16 hearing that the Army continues to make great strides to expand its contracting workforce and improve oversight of the billions spent on warzone contingency contracts.
The US Army is slashing the number of combat brigades from 45 to 33, and shifting thousands of soldiers out of bases around the county as it moves forward with the long-planned move to cut the size of the service by 80,000.
