With Fort Sill, Fort Knox, & Fort Jackson seeing a major downsize with their hospitals, soon to be a clinics. Is this a hint of other reductions to come? Could these three bases be on the Pentagon's list?

Things will change again soon. The unrest in the world will cause us to increase our forces again. The leaders at Pentagon level are saying they need an increase, not a reduction.

This doesn't sound like good news.

I wouldn't think so, Fort Knox received three major commands HRC, Cadet Command and Recruiting Command a few years ago and the other two are TRADOC CoEs, to shut those down would strain other posts with like, small resource footprints.
