United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday that the Department of Defense has reduced the total number of generals and admirals by 20 percent. The announcement was made during a period of administrative restructuring aimed at addressing what Hegseth characterized as a top-heavy Pentagon bureaucracy.
According to Hegseth, the reduction is intended to increase accountability within the military leadership. He further indicated that the cuts were focused on officers who did not align with his stated objective of refocusing the armed forces on core war-fighting capabilities.
