Add 50,000 soldiers to the Army
What the document says“Increase the Army force structure by 50,000 to handle two major regional contingencies simultaneously.”
The chapter states that the Army budget has fallen by roughly 11 percent since 2018 and that the service cannot execute its land dominance mission. It asks for the Army budget to be increased, for the six current modernisation priorities to be accelerated, and for 50,000 more soldiers so that two major regional conflicts can be handled at once.
What the document actually says“Increase the Army force structure by 50,000 to handle two major regional contingencies simultaneously.”
Add 50,000 more soldiers to the Army. Then it could fight two big wars at once.
The book says the Army has shrunk. It says it could not fight two wars at the same time. It asks for 50,000 more soldiers.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing among the candidates changes Army end strength or the Army budget. Executive Order 14167 assigns the military a role in sealing the borders, which uses forces that already exist, and Executive Order 14269 rebuilds commercial and defense shipbuilding capacity. Neither adds soldiers. End strength of this kind is set in the annual defense authorization, and no such act is among the candidates. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
