McCarthy: Without budget growth, Army heads toward ‘collision course’
By: Jen Judson  
WASHINGTON — Without top-line growth in the U.S. Army’s future budgets, the service is headed toward a “collision course,†Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said March 4 at the McAleese Defense Programs Conference.
The Army has already gone through two-and-a-half years of deep budget scrubs through its “night court†process, which seeks to find funding areas in the budget that don’t align with the National Defense Strategy and the service’s modernization efforts, and moves those dollars into accounts that meet its priorities.
In the Army’s first night court, the chief, secretary, vice chief and undersecretary presided over decisions — big and small, easy and tough — for roughly 600 programs, shifting $33 billion from programs across the fiscal 2020 through FY24 five-year plan.
