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.”

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.
