WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert Gates is expected to announce Monday the restructuring of several dozen major defense programs as part of the Obama administration’s bid to shift military spending from preparations for large-scale war to the counterinsurgency programs that Gates and others consider likely to dominate U.S. conflicts in coming decades.
Among the programs expected to be heavily cut is the Army’s Future Combat Systems, a network of vehicles linked by high-tech communications that has been plagued by technical troubles and delays.
