DoD weighs major COCOM realignment | Navy Times | navytimes.com
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is considering a major overhaul of its geographical combatant commands, possibly realigning oversight within hot-button areas of the world and eliminating thousands of military and civilian positions,according to defense sources..
While the plans for combatant command (COCOM) realignment and consolidation are still notional, sources say some options include:
â– Combining Northern Command and Southern Command to form what what some are calling "Americas Command" or "Western Command."
â– Dissolving Africa Command and splitting it up among European Command and Central Command.
â– Expanding Pacific Command to include Afghanistan and Pakistan, which are part of Central Command.
