Hegseth To Cut Top Generals, Admirals ‘By 20%’ Amid Ongoing Pentagon Shakeup
Approved reduction plans for the Army, Navy, Air Force & military’s joint pool earlier this month…
The announcement will come during a State of the Force address on Wednesday. The earlier directive separately called for a 20 percent decrease in active-duty four-star positions, as well as a 20 percent reduction in National Guard general officers.
A Department of War source told Fox News that “The latest reductions apply to billets – positions designated for generals and admirals – rather than an across-the-board removal of 20 percent of the officers currently serving in those ranks.” . Some of the positions will be “downgraded” instead of removed completely, the report goes on to state.
