As a result of the Army announcing job cuts earlier this year because of force restructuring, the 82nd Airborne Division will lose its cavalry squadrons, while gaining a combat vehicle test unit, the division’s commander said this week.


Maj. Gen. J. Patrick Work spoke about the cuts during a video interview from Europe on Monday.

“It’s affected over a thousand of our paratroopers,” he said. “We take it very seriously and make sure that each of them are getting taken care of and understand the next several dance steps in the process.”
