The planned reduction includes:
A reduction in the number of F-16 and F-15E fighter jets from approximately 150 to 100
A reduction in the number of maritime reconnaissance aircraft from 26 to 15 and the withdrawal of all eight refueling aircraft previously available to Europe
The redeployment of a nuclear-powered submarine and an aircraft carrier, as well as several warships and dozens of aircraft participating in the carrier’s missions
The redeployment of one of the two bomber groups previously assigned to defend Europe
