Defense
Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday directed the active duty military to shed 20%
of its four-star general officers as the Trump administration keeps pushing the
services to streamline their top leadership positions.
Hegseth
also told the National Guard to
shed 20% of its top positions.
In a
memo dated Monday, Hegseth said the cuts will remove “redundant force structure
to optimize and streamline leadership.”
On top
of the cuts to the top-tier four-star generals, Hegseth has also directed the
military to shed an additional 10% of its general and flag officers across the
force, which could include any one-star or above or officer of equivalent Navy
rank.
There
are about 800 general officers in the military, but only 44 of those are
four-star general or flag officers. Hegseth has already directed the firings of
more than a half-dozen three- and four-star generals since taking office,
including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. CQ Brown Jr., saying those
eliminations were “a reflection of the president wanting the right people
around him to execute the national security approach we want to take.”
Hegseth
said the cuts aimed to free the military from “unnecessary bureaucratic
layers.”
The
Pentagon is under pressure to slash spending and personnel as part of the
broader federal government cuts pushed by President Donald Trump’s
administration and ally Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.
Hegseth
last week ordered a sweeping transformation to the Army to “build a leaner,
more lethal force,” including merging or closing headquarters, dumping outdated
vehicles and aircraft, slashing as many as 1,000 headquarters staff in the
Pentagon and shifting personnel to units in the field.
Also
last week the Army confirmed
that there will be a military parade on Trump’s birthday in June, as part of
the celebration around the service’s 250th birthday. Officials say it will cost
tens of millions of dollars.
The
cuts were first reported by CNN.
