and consolidating into our enduring Main Operating Bases. As a result of these unit
actions there will be a reduction of approximately 795 Soldiers, 1,215 family members,

personnel associated with the units and organizations in this announcement. The impact
on both military and civilian personnel will vary, based on the disposition of their units

Also, the number of Soldiers reflects authorized positions, while the number of
civilians is actual strengths.
