US special ops teams must cut 5,000 troops over next 5 years amid push to recruit technical experts

U.S. military teams deployed for high-risk counterterrorism missions and other sensitive operations are being restructured amid a personnel cut.
U.S. Army Special Operations Command, which bears the brunt of the personnel cuts, is eyeing plans to increase the size of its Green Beret teams — usually about 12 members — to bring in people with more specialized and technical abilities. One possibility would be the addition of computer software experts who could reprogram drones or other technical equipment on the fly.
But similar changes could ripple across all the military services.
