Musarra: I’m concerned about our national defense, the security of our country. This is about drawing down our force and that’s not good. Why are we reducing when no one else is? How are we going to protect the United States, knowing the numbers are against us?
McCarthy: I came to find out the impact of the new structure and stationing, and how that affects the retiree community, disabled veterans especially. My questions were answered.

Army Force Reduction Coming: Fort Belvoir community voices concerns
Members of the Fort Belvoir community —civilians, active duty, retirees of each military branch — gathered Jan. 23 to learn about the future of the garrison. The listening session titled “Army Force Structure and Stationing” was one stop on a 30-installation tour to gather community input for the Army senior leadership as it prepares to further reduce the size of the force.
