The Pentagon will take steps next year to retire an aircraft carrier in case Congress does not lift sequestration by 2016.
The Pentagon recently released a preview of its defense budget request for 2015, which includes cuts to the size of the Army and Marine Corps, laying up 11 Navy cruisers, cutting Air Force A-10 and U-2 fleets. Defense leaders say those reductions will get worse if sequestration is not relieved for 2016.
