The Army will remove nearly 30,000 soldiers from their active rolls over the next 17 months in first wave to draw down forces from the current 519,786 active troopers to 450,000, or even 420,000 soldiers.
At the same time, the Obama administration will be allowing a ‘limited number’ of undocumented young people, known as Dreamers, into the military via The Enlist Act.
The White House has temporarily delayed the program in order to work out some immigration issues with Republicans.

FactCheck.org periodically offers a fresh update of selected statistical indicators of what has happened since Barack Obama first took office in January 2009.
Some are positive and some are not, but all are from sources that FactCheck.org has found to be solid and reliable. And, as usual, the organization cautions that no single number or collection of numbers can tell the entire story.
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
It’s still too early to know precisely how many previously uninsured people now have health coverage because of the ACA (also known as “Obamacare,” a term the administration has come to embrace). Some estimates put the figure at more than 10 million.
One recent indication comes from a quarterly survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which found that during the first three months of 2014, a total of 1.4 percent of all U.S. residents under age 65 had obtained private health insurance through the ACA’s exchanges. The survey also found that the number of uninsured had dropped to 13.1 percent of the population in early 2014, down from 14.4 percent last year.
FactCheck.org reports with confidence is that just over 8 million people signed up for private health insurance during the initial enrollment period. That number is unchanged from the previous update. The figure includes an unknown number of people who signed up but later failed to pay their premium, thus failing to obtain coverage.
FactCheck.org also confirmed that at least 7.9 million more people were covered by Medicaid as of July, compared with the July through September period last year, before the ACA’s open enrollment period began. That number has grown significantly from the 6.1 million in the previous update.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that 42 million people lacked medical insurance in 2013. The bureau won’t have comparable figures for 2014 until late next year.
OBAMACARE IN 2015
Meanwhile, the insurance exchanges’ second annual open enrollment period is approaching. It will run from Nov. 15 through Feb. 15.
Compared with this year, there are 25 percent more insurance companies offering health plans through the exchanges for 2015, according to preliminary data released by the Department of Health and Human Services. That means more competition, and greater choice.
Meanwhile, 2015 premiums may cost slightly less than in 2014, at least on average, according to a separate survey by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation, which tracks trends in health insurance coverage. KFF reports that for the benchmark “silver plan,” which is the second-lowest in cost of the standard options offered, the average premium will be 0.8 percent lower than in 2014, based on an analysis covering the largest cities in 15 states and the District of Columbia where information from rate filings is available.
One change that is nearly certain is that the law’s basic penalty for failing to obtain coverage will double in 2015, going from 1 percent of household income for those who are uninsured this year (to be paid in 2015 when federal income taxes are due) to 2 percent of household income for those who don’t get coverage next year. The minimum penalty goes from $95 per adult this year to $325 in 2015.
