*Acting Army Secretary Les Brownlee announced Feb. 23, 2004, that he and
the Service's chief of staff, Gen. Peter Schoomaker, recommended
canceling the 21-year-old Comanche helicopter program. The roughly $14
billion allocated to the program between now and 2011 would go toward
other aviation programs.
