Hegseth to cut more generals and admirals in bid to remake the militaryâs top ranks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to announce deeper cuts to the militaryâs top ranks, reducing the total number of positions for general and flag officers by as much as 20%, officials told The Washington Post on Tuesday. The potential cuts could impact the careers of hundreds of current and rising military leaders following scores of firings and denied promotions that Hegseth has directed since becoming President Donald Trumpâs defense secretary in January 2025.
