The involuntary separation of Soldiers from the force may be necessary as the U.S. Army draws down in strength over the next few years, the service's vice chief of staff told members of Congress March 26, 2014. U.S. Army Gen. John F. Campbell said bringing the force down to 490,000 will probably require about 5,000 involuntary separations over the next three years, while bringing the end strength down to 450,000 Soldiers by 2019 will be even tougher.
