US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Announces 20% Reduction in General and Admiral Ranks

Kathmandu. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that the number of US Army Generals and Admirals has been reduced by 20 percent. He presented this step as an effort to keep 'accountability' in military leadership and make the army more focused, disciplined, and ready for war.

Addressing at the Quantico military base, he informed that 10 percent of the Generals and Admirals have been removed, and an additional 10 percent reduction has been made in the positions of General Officers. He said that officers who did not support the effort to build a war-focused military structure, unlike the 'leftist ideological' policies of the previous administration, were part of the change process.
