Pentagon cuts reshape military, trim costs

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey brief the media at the Pentagon Briefing Room, January 26, 2012.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon unveiled a 2013 budget plan that would cut $487 billion in spending over the next decade by eliminating nearly 100,000 ground troops, mothballing ships and trimming air squadrons in a bid to create a smaller, agile force with a new strategic focus.
