The Pentagon will withdraw two brigade combat teams from Europe as part of an effort to slash $487 billion in spending over the next decade, but will maintain a strong presence by rotating units in and out of the region, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Thursday.
A brigade combat team usually has about 3,000 to 5,000 personnel, depending on makeup. Four brigade combat teams are currently stationed in Europe - three in Germany and one in Italy.
