US Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander General Lloyd Austin said that the US Army is “getting dangerously small.”

“We are getting dangerously small,” Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander General Lloyd Austin said when asked about the size of the US Army compared to the growing need for the country’s armed forces.
Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Commander General Joseph Votel pointed out the US Army is at “high risk” because of the decline in forces and the high demand for US military power.
