Original: Hegseth to announce 20% cut in generals, admirals, ends tenure for civilians at military academies
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to announce a 20% reduction in the number of generals and admirals across the US military, along with the elimination of tenure protections for civilian faculty at military academies. The move is part of his broader push to streamline Pentagon leadership and reshape the defense bureaucracy, and is drawing attention over its potential impact on military command structure.
