US EditionHegseth orders Pentagon to cut number of senior generals by 20%
- On Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed the Pentagon's top leadership to reduce the total count of four-star generals and admirals in the military by a minimum of 20%.
- Hegseth initiated the order based on his prior argument that the military maintains too many senior generals, a stance he expressed during his confirmation hearing.
- The signed memo instructs a reduction in redundant command roles by cutting a portion of senior general and admiral ranks within the military and National Guard to enhance leadership efficiency.
- At the beginning of this year, the military included 37 officers holding four-star ranks and approximately 900 general and flag officers in total; the memo described the planned reductions as essential for eliminating redundant positions and enhancing leadership efficiency.
- This directive implies a significant restructuring of senior military leadership aimed at improving efficiency by cutting the number of top-ranking officers by 20%.
