In a surprising political move, President Trump announced the dismissal of Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Brown, the first Black man to lead a military branch, received thanks from Trump for his 40 years of service. The President has nominated retired Lt. Gen. Dan Caine as Brown's successor. This decision aligns with recent calls from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who alleged that Brown's leadership supported a detrimental "woke" agenda, impacting military readiness.
Trump stated that he would be nominating Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan Caine to succeed Brown, citing Caine's extensive experience and successful military career.
Brown, a former combat pilot, made history as the first Black man to lead a branch of the military and was confirmed as chairman by Biden.
