The Pentagon is considering making significant cuts to the top of the U.S. military as the
Trump administration seeks to shrink the federal government, according to a briefing
document obtained by CNN and a U.S. defense official. The plans under consideration
include consolidating combatant commands, possibly eliminating a directorate that
oversees development, training, and education for the joint force, and halting the
expansion of U.S. Forces Japan.
