Tuesday, April 27, 2004 Musharraf approves reduction of 50,000 troops - Daily Times "President General Pervez Musharraf has approved a plan to restructure the Pakistan Army with the reduction of 50,000 non-combat men to create more funds for the technological needs of the fighting arms. Gen Sultan referred to the defence budget that had not been increased for a couple of years and said this restructuring plan would create funds from within the already available resources instead of burdening the economy, and help the army respondmore quickly to the challenges of the battlefield." |
