Donald Trump dismissed General CQ of Brown as a chairman of the joint head of the headquarters on Friday, classifying the distinguished aircraft leader while the president seeks to remove military officers who supported the politics of diversity, equality and involvement.
Defense Minister Hegsetth also fired two other best officers: head of Navy Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti and Vice President of James Slife’s General Staff. The surprise of the release on Friday night certainly jerked the US army, which Trump vowed to get rid of what he had pulled out as “awakened” Dei programs.
BrownThe second black general who served as the main officer of the army began what was supposed to be a four -year term in October 2023.
“I want to thank General Charles ‘CQ’ Brown for more than 40 years of service to our country, including our current president of the common head of the headquarters,” Trump She wrote on her social platform of truth.
“He is a good gentleman and an extraordinary leader and I want a great future for him and his family.”
Trump said he would nominate a retired air force, a Lieutenant of Dan “level” Caine to replace Brown. The presidents usually choose someone for the role that is the head of the service or the commander of the fight.
Trump was introduced to Caine when he visited Iraq in December 2018, where the officer was the deputy general command of the joint working group for special operations during a military campaign against the Islamic State.
During the 2024 speech at a conservative political action, Trump said that Caine “looked better than any movie actor you could get.”
Caine recently withdrew from the army and joined Shield Capital as a ventured partner. He was also the best CIA advisor for military affairs, he was also a F-16 pilot and a white house associate, among other tasks.
“In addition to Pete Hegsetha, General Caine, and our army secretaries, he will renew peace with power, put America first and rebuild our army,” Trump said about the truth of Social.
Trump said he also directed Hegsetth to ask for nominations “for five additional high -level positions, which will be announced soon.”
Hegsetth said that he and Trump “set a new leadership that will focus our army on his basic mission of distractions, fights and victory on wars.”
He said he also shot the first lawyers for the military, navy and aviation.
The speculation of Brown’s future has encouraged Trump’s nomination for Hegseth to be a defense minister. In November, Podcasta’s ex -host Fox News said: “First of all, you have to release the president of the common chiefs.”
He accused Brown of attempting to implement “awakened” policies along with other generals.
With the majority in Senate, Trump could have a wide width to replace top officers.
Roger Wicker, a Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, said that “the confident Secretary of Hegsetth and President Trump will select a qualified and capable successor for the critical position of the president of the joint chiefs of the staff.”
“President Trump, like any president, deserves the selection of military advisers who knows, believes and has a relationship,” Republican senator Lindsey Graham published on X.
Pentagon said earlier on Friday that he would fire 5,400 civilian workers who would start next week, and the first round in what is expected to be greater cleaning his labor.
Trump’s administration intends to reduce the workforce of the Ministry of Defense between 5 percent and 8 percent, said Pentagon’s high clerk Darin Selnick. That would mean potentially tens of thousands of people.
