Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced initiatives to reduce the number of senior military leaders and shift the Army's focus towards enhancing homeland defense and deterring China. This includes a pledge to decrease the number of four-star admirals and generals by at least 20%, aiming to streamline military leadership and eliminate redundancy. Along with cutting outdated programs, the focus will shift to advancing long-range missiles and cyber capabilities. However, the specifics of these changes remain vague, with critics noting the lack of detailed implementation plans.
Hegseth directed the Pentagon to reduce the number of four-star admirals and generals by at least 20 percent while also cutting the number of general officers in the National Guard by the same ratio.
Hegseth emphasized that through these measures, the military aims to maintain its lethal strength and enhance efficiency and preparedness for future challenges.
