Hegseth Orders 20% Cut in Senior Military Ranks, Launches Autonomous Warfare Command

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a 20% reduction in active-duty generals and admirals, aiming to streamline command structures and eliminate what he calls 'woke' leadership. The move, unveiled at a 'State of the Force' address in Quantico, Virginia, follows a year of personnel purges and includes the creation of a new Autonomous Warfare Command. Critics warn the cuts threaten military experience and readiness, while Hegseth frames them as necessary accountability and efficiency measures.

Hegseth to Double Senior Military Cuts to 20% at Quantico Address

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to announce a 20% reduction in general and admiral billets at a 'State of the Force' address in Quantico, Virginia, on Wednesday. This move doubles the 10% cut ordered in 2025 and must be completed by January 1, 2027. While Hegseth frames the cuts as necessary to remove bureaucratic layers and streamline leadership, critics argue the reductions threaten military readiness and continuity. The announcement follows a year of significant personnel changes, including the firing of at least 20 senior leaders, and comes amid strained relations with Congress over the Pentagon's management of the Iran war.
