FORT BRAGG (WTVD) -- There's a troubling projection just released by the Army about Fort Bragg and Fayetteville.

The projections are part of an Army review of possible realignment and cuts made necessary by a shrinking Pentagon budget.

Under a worst-case scenario, Fort Bragg could lose 16,000 soldiers and defense civilians by the year 2020.

The report also says, if the cuts take place, it could mean a nearly billion dollar hit to the Fayetteville economy.
