Did you say overextended? DJ US Army Secy: Army Not Severely Stretched Or Broken . NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The U.S. Secretary of the Army said Wednesday it is "incorrect" to say, as some have, that the Army is "severely stretched" or "broken." Francis Harvey told reporters at the Pentagon the Army was "facing great challenges, but it is more accurate to describe the Army as a full-spectrum force with a portfolio of capabilities that are relevant to the 21st century." In November, Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., whose views on military matters are widely respected on Capitol Hill, charged that "our military and their families are stretched thin. Many say the Army is broken." Murtha's statement came as he called for the U.S. to begin a withdrawal of troops from Iraq. According to a transcript of Wednesday's news conference, Harvey said the U.S. Army today is "the most capable, best trained, best equipped and most experienced force our nation has fielded in well over a decade."
