Hegseth Plans 20% Cut in US Generals
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth plans to announce a further round of reductions in the number of generals and admirals serving in the armed forces on Wednesday, the Pentagon confirmed.
The planned cuts would reduce the number of senior military officers by 20%, extending an effort to shrink the ranks of top commanders.
The announcement is expected to focus on generals and admirals, rather than the size of the armed forces as a whole.
The Pentagon’s confirmation did not include a breakdown of the reductions by military branch or a timetable for putting them into effect.
