Hegseth to announce 20% cut to generals and admirals

Original: Hegseth to announce a 20% cut to generals and admirals

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to announce a 20% reduction in the number of generals and admirals in the US military, according to CBS News. The move would be one of the most significant trims to senior leadership ranks in decades and fits Hegseth's stated push to cut what he calls bloated headquarters staff and streamline the Pentagon's top command structure.

Why now: A major restructuring of top US military leadership is imminent and carries broad implications for the Pentagon's command.
