One of the Top Priorities we have is presence. You wont see a Budget Reduction in our forward presence. Japan, singapore and guam will continue to increase. We are increasing the forces in the european command as we look at how were going to deploy in the future. Strictly for the reason you stated with the instability in the africom and the ucom region.
