Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has proposed significant reductions in the number of general and flag officers within the US military, targeting a minimum 20% decrease in four-star positions and 10% overall cuts. He believes more high-ranking officers do not equate to greater success and aims to streamline leadership for better strategic readiness and effectiveness. This initiative is a part of a broader conversation involving the Joint Chiefs of Staff and reflects ongoing efforts to manage defense spending more efficiently.
