Original: Hegseth confirms the US military will cut 20% of its generals and admirals
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed that the American military will reduce its ranks of generals and admirals by 20%, a sweeping cut to the senior officer corps. The move fits the administration's push to slim down the Pentagon's leadership and ranks, and it is drawing attention across defense and political circles over what it means for military command structure.
Why now: The announced 20% reduction in senior military leadership is a major restructuring of the US armed forces with broad defense implications.
