CSA Press Conference on Army Force Structure Reductions (As Prepared)

By  Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Ray Odierno

Good afternoon. Today, we are announcing the results of the Department of the Army force structure decisions. Our Army is in the process of undergoing one of the largest organizational changes since World War II as we transition from a force at war. Our decisions are in line with the Fiscal Year 13 budget submission which implements a $487 billion dollar reduction in DOD funding based on the Budget Control Act of 2011. It began in fiscal year 2013 and extends over ten years. The Army's share of this reduction is approximately $170 billion dollars.

Brigade combat teams cut at 10 posts will help other BCTs grow

WASHINGTON (Army News Service, June 25, 2013) -- The Army announced June 25 that 10 brigade combat teams based in the United States are slated to be reorganized by the end of fiscal year 2017.

In addition to the 10 brigade combat teams, known as BCTs, announced today, the Army also announced last year it would cut two brigades in Germany that complete inactivation this fiscal year. These changes will reduce the number of BCTs in the Army from 45 to 33.

Support for demonstration of modular high temperature gas cooled reactors

International interest in HTGR technology has been increasing in recent years due to a growing recognition of the potential of HTGR designs to provide high efficiency, cost effective electricity generation appropriate for the conditions in developing countries, and in the longer term to provide a source of high and low-temperature process heat, for nuclear hydrogen and nuclear desalination applications. The inherent safety characteristics of these reactors, buttressed by the robust fuel design are seen as some of the reasons for this renewed interest. GT-MHR Concept (USA). The early HTGR designs were the AVR, a 10 MW test reactor in Juelich, Germany (left picture)
