US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed plans to cut 20% of the US military's generals and admirals, a major reduction in senior officer ranks. The move, part of broader personnel changes under the Trump administration, is drawing attention for its potential impact on military leadership and command structure.
Why now: A large-scale reduction of top military leadership is a significant and controversial restructuring of the US armed forces.
