Lewis-McChord, Bragg-Pope, Ft. Hood. All rapid deployment locations state-side. Reduce the force to 3 active Federal Divisions, 2 active Corps HQs and one reserve. Keep Benning, Sill, Leonardwood, Huachuca, Aberdeen and Rucker for training and Branch specific training

Look how far the world has come tech-wise in the past 10 years. Ten years from now, tech will have progressed more than we fathom as I'm writing this. So, as a force, I would hope that we get out in front of these tech curves.

That seems to be the big questions. What's next? Understand budget cuts and relative strength related to the dog eat mentally of shape up or ship out. I look forward to the state regardless of the outcome. We all signed that dotted line and now have a duty.

Depends how much more damage will be done the next two years and then it will depend who gets elected in 2016. that will decide whether we stay a super power or if we finish hollowing out our military until it is not effective in any major conflict.
