"Gen. George, the Army's 41st chief of staff, would retire effective immediately and thanked him for his decades of service."
"In concert with the removal of Gen. George, Gen. David Hodne, head of the Army's Transformation and Training Command, and Maj. Gen. William Green, head of the Army's Chaplain Corps, were also removed from their posts."
"Hegseth has made a number of changes to the military's top brass during his time as Secretary of Defense, including firing Gen. C. Q. Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has requested the immediate retirement of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, who was confirmed in 2023. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed George's retirement and acknowledged his decades of service. Alongside George's removal, Gen. David Hodne and Maj. Gen. William Green were also dismissed from their positions. Hegseth has previously made significant changes to military leadership, including the firing of Gen. C. Q. Brown, citing concerns over DEI considerations in promotions.
