Part of their goal is decrease the size of the Army by eighty thousand.
Two of the brigades to be eliminated are from Germany, while the other ten are from eight US states.
Brigades will be cut from Fort Bliss in Texas, Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Fort Campbell in Kentucky, Fort Carson in Colorado, Fort Drum in New York, Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Knox in Kentucky, Fort Riley in Kansas, Fort Stewart in Georgia, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington.
Troops, from the cut brigades, will be transferred to other brigades replacing soldiers whose time of service has ended.
The cuts will have clear economic effects on some of the areas, especially smaller bases like Fort Knox, which is home to only one brigade.
