Hegseth ousts Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George - CBS News
Overview
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement, reportedly seeking a leader who will implement President Trump and Hegseth's vision for the Army. In an outgoing email, George said U.S. soldiers deserve "courageous leaders of character," a message interpreted by some as a critique of his removal. The near-simultaneous ouster of Navy Secretary John Phelan shows the removals span multiple services and has intensified worries about politicization and strained civil-military relations.
