Due to budget issues, it is possible that the active Army would drop to less 400,000. According to BG (Ret) John S Brown, this is the smallest it would be since WWII.
The VCASNY is the oldest military organization in New York State. It was formed in Manhattan on Evacuation Day (New York), November 25, 1790, by Veterans of Washington’s Continental Army Corps of Artillery. The VCASNY today serves primarily as a ceremonial unit, and during the course of its' drill year, is invited to participate in numerous New York City parades, civic and patriotic events. Independently or in association with traditional veterans organizations, the VCASNY also serves as honor guard and provides firing parties for military funerals, military anniversaries and other events of military interest.
