Who Said “Sharp Reductions”
No one has said US forces in Iraq will “draw down sharply next year,” USAF Gen. Richard Myers, JCS Chairman, told the Pentagon press corps on Friday, bluntly rejecting the notion that any “senior commander” had said there would be “sharp reductions.” Myers, who recently returned from a 10-day trip visiting American forces overseas, said there is “a possibility” of a reduced US presence in Iraq, IF (he repeatedly emphasized the word) there is continued progress on the security and political front.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this week released strategies meant to focus the Pentagon’s “alphabet soup” of innovation organizations and proliferate artificial intelligence—moves that experts say could provide the structure needed to make the military’s efforts to integrate and field new technology more effective.
