Hegseth Plans 20% Cut in US Generals and Admirals
US defense chief Pete Hegseth intends to announce a further round of reductions in the number of generals and admirals serving in the armed forces on Wednesday, the Pentagon has confirmed.
The planned move would reduce the ranks of those senior military officers by 20%, adding to an earlier push to cut their numbers.
The announcement concerns the military’s top leadership ranks, rather than a stated reduction in the overall number of service members.
The brief confirmation did not specify how the reductions would be distributed across the armed forces or set out a timetable for carrying them out.
