DENVER—GOP Rep. Mike Coffman has submitted a 10-year plan to trim $103 billion in military spending to a congressional supercommittee to slash deficits.
Coffman said Friday he would expand the National Guard and Reserve by 100,000 personnel and require an equivalent reduction from active duty forces, which he says would save $90 billion in personnel costs.
He says suspending a Pentagon plan to change standard one-year tours of duty in South Korea to three years—and allow servicemen to bring their families—would save up to $13 billion in construction costs.
Coffman serves on the House Armed Services Committee.
