US Defence Secretary Robert Gates has recommended cuts in the numbers of top officers and private contractors serving the US military.

Mr Gates said the military had grown unwieldy and costly following the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001.

"I'm not satisfied with the progress made to reduce our over-reliance on contractors," Mr Gates said at a Pentagon news conference.

He also proposed eliminating a major military command with 5,000 employees.

The Joint Forces Command, based in Virginia, trains US military forces.

Calling the US military "top-heavy", Mr Gates, who was appointed by George W Bush in 2006, said he would recommend eliminating at least 50 positions for generals and admirals.

And he recommended cutting the number of support contractors by 10%.

Mr Gates' previous pledges to reform the budget have encountered stiff resistance from members of the US congress who rely on military spending for jobs in their constituencies.
