The Department of Defense said it will inform Congress about its budget cuts in
February.
The Pentagon states that by making these cuts the Department will be ahead of
the expense reduction plan to save $US50 billion that goes in effect on March 1.
The Pentagon said the measures are mandatory because the agency has ‘no time
left to absorb these cuts’, when they go into force later this year.
