#1 FIFY: ...as it reorganizes for ~~naval warfare against China.~~
Reductions In Force (RIF) as troops are pulled from Afghanistan, Iraq and other "active" theaters (hopefully).
They are also looking in mothballing their M1-Abrams, as well. More "seaborne Commandos" than the other US army.

#4 My sole experience with the military was 6 months working on a purchasing admin system to be shared by the Army, Navy and MC.

It was amazing that those folks could coordinate and win a fight against a troop of Cub scouts.
Especially the Navy Aviators always had to have the last word. WTF was the watch word for the entire project.

That's a long way of saying that I'm not surprised.
